Sherman tank, rotted rubber
 

I just got a used Tamiya sherman and all the rubber tires are rotted. Does anyone know where I can find replacements?

Thanks in advance.

TRY,Tamiya usa if you got the parts nr,i had the same problem with my leopard a 4 but you get stuff that you rub on the tires but i dont know what its called,the sherman is still avail so i doubt if you r going to battle to find the tires,i hope you get sorted out.

Hey, it does the same to me too. That's why I reply to simpleton attacks like Mickey Mouse throws at me.

Other than that, I'm here to help with experienced advise.

Wish i can lay my hands on the panther that tank intessts me a lot did you get the scale barrel for the kt,i understand the one that comes with the kit is not right.

RE: Sherman tank, rotted rubber
 

No parts collected yet for any of the KT's, but right now I'm collecting some for my very early TI version. After building the Sturmtiger that was so much of a fun build, I just had to build the Tiger too!

Gentlemen, for heavens sake calm down and have a bit of respect for a fellow enthusiast who's first language is clealy not English. Frans from South Africa has got an opinion like all of us and deserves equal treatment. Let's face it we're all here for a bit of fun, a bit of modelling and a bit of chit chat. So on that basis, let's keep it friendly to all us.

Lecture over now.

All the best Gents.

1002frans - Thanks for the tip, unfortunately my rubber wheels have crumbled.

Panther F - Thanks for the link. That's a big help. As Tamiya USA won't ship to Canada, I was directed to a Canadian distributor [link]http://www.borgfeldt.ca[/link] . One quick call, ordered what I needed, problem solved.
