Tamiya parts

[mickyb]

Hi

I have been trying to find a Tamiya recoil unit for 2 days but I'm not 'avin much luck here. Where do I order a Tamiya recoil unit from please. Time Tunnel models want an awful lot for the part but dont have it, and they say I also need a Stay for it , what ever that is, but they dont know which is the smaller of the 2 types available cos they dont have any to look at....

Advice please. Is the Pershing recoil the smaller of the 2 Tamiya recoil units, and do I need this "stay" to mount it?

I need this for the Centurion build.

Many thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

To answer your question, yes the Pershing recoil is the smaller, its also used in the Panzer IV. The stay is like a metal mount for the recoil unit. You can make one up yourself quite easily.

Try this guy on ebay; Jason's Store He'll have the recoil units, a lot cheaper than Time Tunnel, but it does have to ship from Japan.

Cheers,
Rik

mike enjoy your holiday, but go for the jason store most goods are here in about 4/5 days and a king tiger recoil is only £15 plus p& p and thats still cheaper than you can buy here so order before you go away and it will be here when you get back..........

hi folks,

many thanks for all the info.

I ordered the recoil today as Fleshy suggested, so I hope to have a prezzy on the mat when I get home. This is the final part for the Centurion so I hope to have it completed in a short while.... long time on the bench in bits and it's driving me a bit crazy.

I had a drive with my car club today from Stanstead to the Ace Cafe (near Wembly) for a re-union run, the roads were a bit manic because of the Cup Final, but the sunshine and the soft top down made up for it.

Have a great weekend

Mike
