My mind has drawn a blank...(guess there was a bit too much wine this week) I know there is a company that makes a replacement idler for the Tamiya Panther G kit ...I just can't think of who makes it ...does anyone know who makes it and where I might get a few sets of them?

Rick

Both Friulmodel and Clipper Model from Japan make white metal replacement idlers. You might try The Barrel Store for the Friul ones or Rainbow Ten for the Clipper Model ones.

Rick, what are you up too? hmmmm maybe Model Kasten as well? Cheers Kevin

Thanks Tom I'll see if I can order a couple ...Kevin ..I'm just getting a few things together for a build I have in mind..hehehe!

Rick

HI

Fruil makes a late model idler and Gum ka (??) makes a replacement as well. If you do a search on the old Mission Model site or HLJ you may yied better results than relying on my memory

Tom

Can anyone give me the number of the friul set so I can order them? By the way would the Dragon G Idler work to replace the Tamiya one or is it wrong too...

Rick

Craig -

Hope you had a very "Merry Christmas". I've got future plans for a Panther G ("Meow" Campaign) and diorama. I've got the Friul tracks and plan on getting the sprocket (FRL- AW-13) and idler (FRL-AW-19) soon. Those are the "numbers" I got off the ModelPoint web site. Hope this helps,

P.S. Thanks Craig - you got me promoted! Farther than I made it when I was on active duty at that! LOL
