Hi all,

Has anyone in the UK got a Tamiya Gepard that has seen better days and wants rid of it. I need various parts from one to finish mine.

Thanks

Mike

I have most of a turret and a bunch of hull parts I don't need. I am building a leopard recovery variant(Taurus). I am looking for track parts- end conectors mostly.

Phil

Hi Phil, if you want to email me the details and what sort of cost is involved then I can come back to you. If I have any left over track parts I will let you know. I get the tank in the next couple of days. I would love to see the tank you are doin so post some pics.

Many thanks

Mike

I will try and dig out what I have and send you a picture this weekend. Then, we can figure out what you are interested in.

So far my tank is a hull with parts I have hacked out of the gepard that match the recovery variant. The main winch is pretty good, a spool on the turret motor. It has more pulling power than traction.

Hi Phil,

Got the Gepard today and boy is it a tired looking tank, the chassis and running gear are ok though. Looks like I need a lot of bodywork so look forward to seeing what you have thanks. I will measure the tracks tonight against my leo 1 as they seem quite saggy. If there are any links left over you are welcome to them.

I have been looking on the AFV model shop site on the web and they have new track sets available so I dont know if thet is any use to you.

Regards

Mike

Hi again,
I went through my stuff and I have a complete Gepard Turret that will elevate once a servo is added and assorted body bits including track skirts. I will list them on Ebay later in the week unless you make me an offer.

Phil

Here's some pics of what I have.. most notable is the turret and the decals in orginal condition.

Hi Phil, What do you want for them and what will it cost to get them to the UK and how do I pay. If you have a paypal account I can pay thru that. My son will be for ever in debt as he wants to get the Gepard up and going.

Many thanks

Mike

Hi Mike, I will have to ask at the post office. If you PM me I will let you know the details.

Phil
