Gooney Fan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Good afternoon In my stash I have an example of the above kit with perished tyres. Can anybody provide me with a source of suitable replacements? Thanks Gooney Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Try to contact Tamiya customer service and request a set. Since the tires failed from design defect and not loss or damage by you, they may replace them. I would hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooney Fan Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hello Unfortunately for me the kit has been in the stash for at least 30 years so contacting Tamiya or their UK importer may not be feasible. Gooney Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooney Fan I think it has been re-released. Also the 935 may have similar tires and that has been reissued. You have nothing to lose for trying. Doubtful anyone here would take tires from a classic kit in stash to help you. You'd be lucky to find a derelict, started kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 You could try looking into R/C tyres: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CategoryID=9960&SubCategoryID=996010&ManufacturerID=53&PageNo=2 If you have a decent R/C place nearby, I'd take the wheel rims in and see what, if anything, fits... best, M.

Codger Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If no luck with Tamiya, contact MFH about their 1/12 kits and spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Crane Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 You actually might get tires from Tamiya, as the 1/12 934 RSR will be re-released soon - with slicks this time. Also HLJ has been quite helpful with spares from Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooney Fan Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hello The tyre problem has probably been sorted. A new set is being sent courtesy of Tamiya Japan as a speciai order at the cost of £12.00. Thanks to everyone my request. Gooney Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
