HL Pershing gun
 

Hello
I have a HL Pershing and I broke the gun that goes on top of the turret, the little gun mount where it pokes in to the hole on the turret. I was wondering if anyone know where I can purchase the mount from. I tried Mato toys but I have had no luck. Its kind of hard to find those accessories on line, so if anyone knows a good place I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Can you post a pic of the break? Maybe someone will have some good repair tips.

Agreed:

You mean that little three-legged thing with the post that has the gun on top? I bought a spare turret for some parts, and if I have that part, its yours.

If you don't have a camera, borrow a pic of a Pershing turret from someone here, and if you have an image editor, mark the piece you need.

I've been thinking about replacing the crapy 50cal on my HL m26 came with this, it's bent, it doesn't fit in the pintle mount and it doesn't have a charging handle.

Shag:

Thats a copy of the Tamiya .50 cal parts, the styrene ones are dirt cheap. Its ID # 0225094 - V & W sprues, $10 list from TamiyaUSA, less if you buy 'em thru Karen at the AAF Tank Museum. I've got 3 of 'em, and plan on buying a few more.

BYA may be carrying more parts now, as that .50-cal is made by AFV-Model, and Axel-Modelbau is marketing a few of the AFV-Model parts. I noticed it the other day when I looked for the repro of the Leo 1A4 MG3 assembly, and found it there under AA-16-313 lising, which I noted is AFV's part sequencing.

Hi Whitewolf

Where did you get the ID for the parts. I am looking for some other Tamiya 1:16 bits such as King Tiger wheels and would like to get the part numbers for them. Any help greatfully received.

Well I fixed it, I tried to bore the hole out just enough for the mount to set in deeper but that didn't work[:@] so i got mad and glued it[>:] that'll learn it! Not exactly what I wanted to do but it works. I'm going to take some pics today hope to have them posted tonight. Thanks to jstrat and WhiteWolf for the help! [8D]

Gorehound:

The parts ID numbers are right in the manuals. Each sprue & bag has an ID number. If you don't have the relevant manual, you can find most of them on the MAADHQ site in the MAAD-Labs section: http://maadhq.com/html/maad_labs.html

The KT wheels may be expensive, it requires 6 styrene sprues, plus the metal roadwheel-rims, a bag of screws, and the bushings & shafts. For prices, I used www.TamiyaUSA.com, and input the reference numbers.

9415937 (Wheel Bushing bag : MF1-3)
9415939 (Shaft Bag : MS1-4)
0005923 (Sprue A : 6 required)
9405055 (Roadwheels : 36 per bag)
9465805 (Screw Bag D)

And perhaps the idlers: 9805218 (Idler parts A-C)

But a tip on buying: Karen at the AAF Tank Museum can offer significant discounts over the listed MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) that Tamiya lists. You can contact her through the AAF PX: http://www.aaftankmuseum.com/RC%20PX.htm or directly through her e-mail: [email protected]
