bought a job lot at auction so some parts missing from a Wespe - specifically the howitzer .. grateful for any help or suggestions - does anyone make a replacement 10.5..?

cheers

AFV Club makes the howitzer kit ,but individual sprues can be bought from Rainbow Ten in Japan as well as from Tamiya USA.

I know you are not in the states but I wonder if the Euro arm of Tamiya sells sprues.

Hmmm, back when Richard Kohnstam imported Tamiya into the UK I would have said no problem. Not sure about getting parts from the current UK importers though. They wanted £5000 up front just so I could open a trade account - NO other manufacturer has asked for such a stupid 'bond'. Anyway, thats off topic so in answer to your question, extract from Tamiya's website -

I am looking for spare parts. Who should I contact?
Please contact your local agent. To facilitate faster
processing of your order, please have the item part

With that in mind, here is their contact info -

You can get the whole kit for about £13 including postage from Lucky Model!!!!
