many thanks should i remove all rubber biits and suspension parts and seal them in a plastic bag?

I haven’t been on here for a while but sadly i need to put my few models in storage in the loft what’s the best way of doing so? Anything special i should do to the tyres or rubber bits? Thanks for your thoughts Tony

Bit of a long shot this one but here goes I have been asked to bring a 1/25th Tamiya tiger back to life. Now some of you may know that this was supposed to be a static model but the version I have has two motors and a gearbox installed which look to be original,although that’s all there is. I have had a look in the 1982 catalogue I have and it clearly mentions that the models could be run and that there were two kit numbers DTW111 and DTR111. Question is does any one have a n instruction sheet for this kit or know what the original control elements looked like or how they were set up or does any one have the original bits to turn the kit back into a runner? Or falling that could any one tell me how to get this to be a runner again using modern bits. Many thanks for any help and sorry for all the questions but this ones stumping me a bit Tonyleic

no i have checked oput and it was ts70 for the jsdf olive green

hi matt i need a tin of maroon ts11 and a tin of jsdf olive green i think it was ts72 or ts74 if you could help that would be great cheers tony

sorry guys i am i the uk its been nearly 12 months i think since we were able to buy any here

Does anyone know when or even if the tamiya spray paints will make it backin to the shops??

Many thanks for the responses guys Iam going to paint them as I want them to be white as per box art. . I dont know about you guys but the plastic seems to have gone yellow quite quickly I reckon its only take about 12 months to yellow. Anyway many thanks once again Tonyleic

Hi does anyone know how well the re-release grasshopper and hornet wheels take paint? I ask as the plastic seems different to the original models and I fear that paint will not, hold on the plastic Any one got any thoughts ideas or tips Many thanks tonyleics
