I need some help replacing a couple of parts from a Tamiya Tiger I Mid kit #194. I need: Parts C1 Mantlet Rear Plate, C6 Mantlet Pivot Mount and C8 Turret Top Plate. They are now blobs of tan plastic. I guess we had an earthquake here on Okinawa when I was on the way to work the other day and my bottle of Testors Glue tipped over when the cork-board fell off the wall and....well you get the visual. If anyone has a link/e-mail to Tamiya USA so I can see if I can get the parts from them will be fine too. Thanks!

For USA just google search Tamiya USA and you will find their website in Cal.You can call the 1-800 number and they can tell you if it is in stock .You are so close to Japan you may try there too.If USA does not have it in stock they order from Japan.I just got a replacement sprue and it took 7 months to come from Japan.

Thanks Brian! I'll give it a shot. If it took 7 months to come from Japan, it'll take 8 to get back to me via the USPS to my FPO box. We ordered a vacuum cleaner for our office, it took 3 months to get to us and it originated in Japan. Go figure.
