I could have swore there was a post a few months back that had a link for buying sprue replacements from Trumpeter/Hobbyboss kits, anybody remember that post and have a link to either? Am I mistaken or was that a different company.

They have spruces for the kit 83804 (83805 would also work) just not sprue A.

Part is A10 (spoked wheel, the inner set of wheels), course can make do with A13.

It was sixteen days ago. Maybe it only seems like months . . .

I ordered 3 spurs from 2 1/350 ships on Sunday August 28th, on Tuesday the 30th I got an email saying that they were shipped. I came home (Roy, Utah) today Thursday September 8th and found the sprues nicely packaged sitting by my door. Cost me $26 and I am very happynot bad for 11 days from China. I have used Aliexpress before buying stuff from OrangeHobby before so have no fear. Here is the link to their Facebook page were you oreder the parts. You will need to have the kit number and the parts number from the model's instructions, here's the link
