Hi all, Ihave just started this kit , only do discover that as a result of a house move the box got damaged and some parts lost, The most vital is a front idler wheel and its arm. Trumpeter UK, dont keep spares, does anyone do any after market parts for this other than the usual eduard etched parts. Many thanks
Best wishes Charlie

Hi I have only written to the importers and no luck, I have not tried Trumpeter themselves as somewhere in these forums I remember reading some one else had tried and never even got a reply. Trouble is its a dear kit not to be able to finish it.

it may be worth giving them a try, you may be missing out , with all companies you get hiccups with customer services.
im looking forward to saving for that kit mysef!
good luck with your part hunt

IF you can spare the cash, consider buying the rc version from RCCOMMAND.com or other vendors. He sells the rc T-34 for 72.00 US, and all running gear will work with your kit. Tracks are also molded with closed pins and look more realistic. All of detail parts are provided seperately so you could add fuels drums, etc. Just a thought.

Don''t know if he deals with Trumpeter but I guess worth a try.
