Finding Specific Pieces

[otterhog]

Here's my dumb, newbie question.  What's the fastest way to find a specific piece I need... say a silly white hinge for my passenger airplane?  I'd like to buy it so my $150 plane can be complete :-)

Go to Bricklink .. search for your set by #. Then look through the parts inventory for the set to identify the piece and from there you can see what's available for sale.

Or if you know the name of the piece or part #, you can just search directly for the part.
