Thought you would know Tom...personally I don't even know if he carries or sells all the necessary parts ...you know Jason...he sells a little of everything and that one thing you really need he never lists... I think right now he doesn't list the sprue with the wheels :haha: ...think you need about ten of those...maybe more...as I think the sprue only has enough bogies for one or two sets 8O

So if there isn't an alternative...I'd say tracking down a second hand Tamiya lower would be the best bet...and I don't think that will be an easy task as Fury fans will or are snapping them up as we speak ;)

Good Morning,
The first 9 steps in the Manual for Tamiya's Sherman tell you the parts and numbers needed and give the sprues\bags that they are located in. You are looking at 50-75.00 (US) plus shipping to collect all of the parts and screws, etc., maybe a 100.00 depending on where you get them from. Still worth it if you are building a specific tank like 'Fury' Another route is to look for an older Tamiya Sherman for sale. I have seen them complete for around 200.00. Good luck and have fun!
regards,
Painless

If you're in a rush to build it parting out is probably the way to go... but I tend to agree with the second have of Painless's message...getting a beater 2nd hand is probably the best way...that way you will have extra parts to play with should you need them ;)

Hi,
