As is murphy's law I am building Tamiya's m48a3 and was preparing to paint and to my horror I am missing the centre "rod" for one of the 10 smaller wheels (bogeys?) A 23 is
the part number, if you built the kit you will know what I mean. I would let it go but this forms the hub and without it it's a big hole. Does anybody have a spare one to send me? I am in Canada if that makes a difference.

I may have one in a few days. I just bid on a kit on ebay. It was real cheap,and all I really want is the turret to do an M-60 conversion. I'll let you know and I'll keep checking to see if you find one

ok, I won my bid. Now we'll see how long it takes the kit to actually get here. After that it'll probably take another week or so for the part to get to you. Expect you'll have the part within a month. Yep.... the mail is that bad. One solution is putty if you are in a hurry.

It is the hub for the support roller. If you still need help after Blaster, give me a holler.
