All,
I recently read an article where the author ordered the suspension sprue from a Tamiya PzIVJ kit to upgrade his Italeri Stug IV.
How does this work? Who do you call, how do you know the cost, do all manufacturers support these sales, is it something that is common?
Thanks,
Dave

Tamiya recommends that you contact your lhs. They should be able to answer all of your questions. That I know of, most manufacturers do not sell sprue.

You can also order by phone from Tamiya by calling Tamiya America. Contact info is on their webpage. You have to order by the whole sprue, not individual parts. It usually cost about $5 per sprue, plus shipping.
