tony i greased my sherman 11 years ago with the kits ceramic tubes, i opened them on the modelshow because a guy could not believe that the tamiya don't wear with grease in it, it was just brandnew , the metal tooth were not weared anyway, so its eleven years ago i greased them, still enough in it to do the job, what you say now?
Also the plastic turret turretmovement toothwheels are having no sighn of any wear, still the first set of tracks from tamiya, i've rolled for three hours on the concreet with my sherman, yes they are a bit weared but not much at all</p>

Tamiya sells topstuff i have to admit, my HL panther is far from that i'll see and wait</p>
