Hi
New guy here. I picked up a MM-224A M1 Abrams kit on ebay and its missing some parts. I intended to teach my boy how to build kits and now Im sorta stuck. Im missing one of the inner idler wheels (part A-10) and two inner roadwheels (part A-2).
I figure they are the same on the newer Tamiya kits so maybe a member has what im looking for, I also e-mailed Tamiya USA but dont hold much hope on that.
Let me know

Jeff has hooked me up!
Thanks to both of you. If i was practiced I could scratch one out but that was a very long time ago when I acyually have the time to do so.
As an Army reserve tanker I dont get much tank time anymore so plastic if now my armor!
