Sorry about the hole, but it’s yours if you want it.

Hi,will send you a PM now as to your address to send you the muzzle brake As to the article I mentioned about early turret rotation unit with late electronics anyone can go to RC Universe and search, Is it feasable to convert a Tamiya King Tiger static model to R/C . You will find what this tanker did. Regards John.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I didn't have a chance to check for parts before now. Herman, save the back plate you have, as it's a lot cheaper for me to send from here than for you. Paul, I'll send you two of them. One was never installed, so that means that it has NO add-on parts on it. The other came off a built kit, so maybe you can pry off and re-use the detail parts from it. AND, I'll send along a set of Schumo metal front towing lugs, as it turns out that the Geschutzwagen kit I'm building doesn't need them. I'll PM you for an address. -Mike

Good Afternoon,
I came across a 98% complete Tamiya KT 'B' sprue in spares. Let me know if it could be of use. Following along,
