Default 1/16 Brummbar Kit ??

Guys, I need to inquire: Is there a 1/16th scale Brummbar kit available still and where? And can it be used on the Taigen P4?

Thanks,

Springman

Just an FYI but the Profiline kit is an early/mid version while the Juckenberg is the late version of the Brummbar.

Just thought I'd point that out if you find one... there is a difference.

Define not working? I can add the item to the cart and get to a log in screen?

Its been a while since I bought anything from him, so it might be a zombie site?

OK, can you ascertain the email for this person and I can send him a direct inquiry?

I've lost his email address, but the website has a contact form here: Panzerparts - Kontakt

As best as I can tell Peter's English is a little limited, so don't be surprised if you get a rather terse reply. He certainly used to ship to me when I was living out in the US, and he accepted paypal. He was good about shipping missing parts or selling partial kits as well.
His resin is a little abrasive, so don't use the good tools on it.. Like the rest of the competition, there is no facility in the kit for motorising the gun mount - so if that's what you want, be prepared for some work...

Recoil capable gun barrels can be found here: https://tank-modellbau.de/351/Brummb...-L12-fr%C3%BCh - the one shown is an early/late production, but they used to do a mid one as well that would match the panzerparts kit, so get in touch and ask if required.

Hope this helps,

UPDATE: Peter from PanzerParts responded almost immediately to my email inquiry. I was able to purchase a Brummbar kit via PayPal. I will let you know when it arrives.

I have received the 1/16th scale Brummbar kit from Peter @ PanzerParts this past weekend.

The kit is composed of resin upper hull casemate with resin and white metal detail parts. I have to say that all the resin parts are first rate. But, the white metal parts could be better....most are bent-up a bit and some are thin and torn; but all are fixable. I believe the small, white metal accessory parts could be improved with 3D printed parts....just need to find someone(s) to take that on......

Also, please note that I need to correct my statement of above: The actual barrel assembly(2 parts) are aluminum.
