The Great Tamiya Sprue Experiment (aka do you have a mobelwagon?)
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, March 4, 2004 3:47 PM
Caveman's info on the sprue ordering from Tamiya was on the money! They do sell entire sprues.

I'm going to try to order the sprues for the new Tamiya Flak 43 that is in the Mobelwagon kit (the new one of course!).

Anyone out there have it? If you can give me all thje sprue names (A, B, whatever) for the kit, I will try ordering them and will advise on how much they wind up costing, and how long it takes to get them.

I have the Czechmaster kit of the 43, and will use whatever parts don't come with the vehicle-bound gun that comes with the Mobelwagon, but I'd like to use as much of the Tamiya gun as I can, as it's supposed to be outstanding.

Then there's the small point of the assembly instructions .... [:0]

Hey I really appreciate the information -- I'll call and order the sprue tomorrow.

The gunshield is on sprue G? Or it's on sprue C but is mislabelled in the instrutions?

Thanks for the offer on the instructions -- I might take you up on it!

Are there any etch pieces that go on the gun?
