Daryl's Parts

[sevoblast]

Well, fellow tankers, we are in what is known in USA as the Summer Doldrums. Lots of people are on holiday, and for many tankers the hobby takes a back seat to summer activities. Many of you know me as etoarmour.com. I fully realize that for those of you in UK and EU, it is not cost efficient for you to buy Schumo, Tank Modellbau, and Peddinghaus from me, and I would recommend getting parts from those suppliers from either them or your local stockist if you are in UK or EU. I do ship world wide, and especially for former SSSR countries you may want to contact me. ,For tankers in USA and Canada, just go to sight and order what you want. Warehouse is in Indiana, and shipping is fast and accurate.
That being said, I also carry a full line of Daryl's Parts, which are not handled by suppliers in UK or EU.
Daryl  started in about 2002 making functional parts to strenghthen Tamiya tanks. His first parts were transmission plates to go under the TU system, to reinforce the lower hull and keep the TU's in alignment. He also developed a spring loaded idler system for the King Tiger and Tiger 1.
With the usual summer slowdown of business, Daryl's Parts and etoarmour.com have been busily working on R&D and production of new parts. We have numerous new parts on sight, and lots more in the final stages of developement. Daryl is expanding his line with the addition of cosmetic and functional hull parts for many of your tanks. These parts are mostly designed for Tamiya tanks, but some will work on the HL tanks, and there will be in near future a line of parts for the HL KV series. Cosmetic parts are made from ABS plastic, and use steel pins for any hinge pins needed.
At this time on sight I have Sherman Early Split Hatch, German Engine Deck Hinges, T34 Hatch Hinges, Sherman Outdrive Cover (this part is totally missing on Tamiya Shermans), Late Tiger 1 Turret Ring Guard, a universal switch mount plate, Left TU Pinion Guard for most Tamiya tanks, and Tiger 1 Main Gun Breech Connector for the recoil. These are all new parts developed in the last 6 weeks.
Here are a few photos of the new parts. To see the entire line of Daryls Parts, just go to the sight, etoarmour.com, click on the desired tank section, and in the selection of parts you will see all the Daryl's Parts for that tank.
New parts for Ford Sherman, Panther, and Tiger 1 are very close to production, estimated arrival at warehouse is 4 weeks or so. The expansion of new parts will be ongoing, and new product will be announced on forums when available.
