tamiya flash unit question
 

Guys, I am trying to locate a flash unit for my jagdtiger project. I located a Sherman unit, will it work with the kt dmd and Mf unit? What are the differences in flash units? Length?

Length

RE: tamiya flash unit question
 

Any guess if the Sherman unit will be long enough for the jagdtiger barrel?

RE: tamiya flash unit question
 

I don't think so, it was way to short for my Tiger or JP barrel.

I didn't realize there was a difference in length, but it makes sense. If you can't find a longer one than the Sherman unit, it can alway be extended at the base in a few minutes with the soldering iron.

Tamiya only make 2 flash unit lengths.  Short for the Sherman, Long for everything else.  Get the long one.

Thanks guys, figures the only one I can find is not only cheap, but too short...

I just picked up the last one Jason had for $37.50 and 4 to ship it... not a bad price. It's for my M36B1 build.


I'm slowly getting all the parts for it! :D

Would u swap for a Sherman?

RE: tamiya flash unit question
 

Sorry, I can't. The M36 has a long 90MM gun, just like the Pershing.

Try the AAF. I know they wont have the best price but it will be competitive and they will have what you need.
