As the title suggests, I'm looking for the "A Sprue' for the Tamiya Panzer IV/Jagdpanzer IV. The A sprue contains the road wheels and hub caps and I would like to use them as replacements for the Trumpeter Panzer IV whose road wheels take a plastic 'tire.' Actually, I'm looking for three (3) sets of the A sprue. In the alternative, nine (9) pair of these road wheels would fit the bill as I currently have seven sets.
So, if anyone is willing to part with a set, or two, or three, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks guys,
Ralph

Maybe Taigen metal wheels would fit?

Thanks Mr. Kaczor. It is a thought though the width of the wheels may be different and not fit properly on the spindles as do the Tamiyas, but I will look into it.
Thanks...
Thanks...

Re: Sprue A (Road Wheels) for Tamiya Panzer IV
Thanks John. You are correct, Seidel Modellbau does seem to have them 'in stock.' I have attempted to make the purchase on-linen but have run into a slight glitch which I think will be worked out easily enough. Many thanks for your big assist on this one. Very much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Ralph

Re: Sprue A (Road Wheels) for Tamiya Panzer IV
Here's a link to the AAF museum in the US.
http://shop.aaftankmuseum.com/searchres ... p?cat=1849
They have several pages of PzIV parts, although I think the sprue you're after has the ominous "discontinued" on it.
Karen runs the shop and is crazy helpful so you might want to chat with her about availability and sourcing. She helped me with a KV2 project and was honest enough to say "You sure you want to know the price for the sprues you'll need? I'd sit down first."
Mike.

Re: Sprue A (Road Wheels) for Tamiya Panzer IV
Thanks Mike. They were my first thought and as you point out the 'A Sprue' is discontinued. Seidel Modellau did come through, however.
Thanks for the help chaps. Much appreciate it.
