How about, may be less than getting form Tamiya and quicker

I can't find any info on the types of jacks used, but looking at images of Pz II's and III's they do look the same, well to me anyway.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I've Emailed the Hobby Co. Mike.

They are the UK distibutor and should be able to sorrt the required sprues. My buddy on a UK Forum said that he needed the two 'A' sprues from this very kit not long ago (wheels and tracks sprues) and they arrived shortly afterward. Cost £7-50 plus post.

If anyone else has a suitable early versionJack or any type of toolbox to drop in the place of the missing bozes I'd be super grateful. I have plenty of boxes but none suitable and only Pz III and 38T Jacks.

I don't suppose either of these Jacks is a realistic replacement?

Thanks again Mike

I been looking through my stuff I can't find it either, only the U.S. and Japanese numbers. The closest thing I found was 01908-209-480 which is the number for The Hobby Company which was listed as their main UK dealer on the Tamiya Europe site.

You can call 1-800-TAMIYA which is the CS line. They may or may not have the parts in stock since you have to buy the entire tree. When I needed new body panels for my ZX-14 they were very helpful, however one of the 2 trees I needed wasn't in stock and it was said it could take 8-14 weeks to get it from Japan. The price of the tree plus shipping was about $10.

Pz II wip parts missing - am I cursed?
Posted by Hinksy on Sunday, August 26, 2012 9:19 AM

Oh dear - NOOOO! Crying

I made up the two tool boxes and Jack last week for my wip Pz II and can't find them now? I always put stuff like that into a ziplock bag and put it back into the box - it's gone? Not in the box, in my toolbox, my house? It must have either been put into a safe place so I wouldn't lose it OR I have accidentally thrown it out embarrassed

DAMMMMMIIITTTTTTTTTT!! face 8 angry 2 AAGGGHHHH!!!

I can carry on with the build and sort them later on. I have Jacks a-plenty in the spares tub but the Pz II Jack is unique and all I have is 38T Jacks or Pz III Jacks which won't do. I'm thinking of making stowage for the other side to cater for the empty space on the other Fender left by the missing boxes?

If anyone happens to have anything that will help? A spare Pz II tool box or the correct Jack that would be great.

Any advice. Will Tamiya be able to help or will that cost a fortune?

Seriously, I'm gutted and don't feel like modelling today sad

Cheers lads,

Ben crook
