Wanted-Tamiya 1/16 Panther G (56022) TORSION BAR BAG Part No: 9400594

[Martin2556]

Hi,
I’m looking for the parts listed below for a Tamiya 1/16 Panther G (56022)
I believe the 1/16 Tamiya Jagdpanther 56024 uses the same parts?

TORSION BAR BAG Part No: 9400594

I have contacted quite a few Tamiya retailers have been told these parts are no longer available.

The Tamiya USA website are showing the parts in stock but will only supply to USA addresses?

hopefully someone can help?

All the best Martin

I've had parts shipped to me from Tamiya USA here in the US. Typically if it says it's in stock, I'd say it is. Have you looked into those shipping services that sends stuff to a US address and then forwards it on to you in the UK? They are called "reshippers", but read the reviews before using them as some of them have bad reps.

Many thanks Derek for your response & advice to my post, I will take a look at re-shipping services.

Not all USA suppliers will ship to the UK, so I’m looking for recommendations from members who have had positive results using Re-shipping Services that send items purchased in the US to a USA address and then forwards it on to a UK address?

I would say I could try and buy and send it, but it would probably more than double the price of the item with the dual shipping (to Texas and then to the UK).

That would be greatly appreciated if you could Derek, I do understand & accept that the overall cost is going to be higher.
I purchased an incomplete kit. I’ve managed to purchase all the missing parts apart from the above mentioned torsion bar parts bag.
I have looked into the possibility of using a reshipping service but Tamiya USA will not allow it, also they do not accept UK credit card payments or UK PayPal payments so It’s proving very difficult for me trying to place the order from the UK.
Let me know how you get on, if successful I can reimburse you using PayPal.
Many thanks
All the best Martin

Martin,

It allowed me to purchase it. It ended up being $22 shipped to me so I'd say it should be here in a week or so. If you want to PM me your address in the UK, I can work up the shipping when it arrives.

Plus the fact that Mr 2556's Panther will be a scintillating offering if we go by the T55 & PzIII !!
