Ordering New Tamiya Parts in the UK

[deepraj]

Hi

I have done a search but only found info for the US. I have a Tamiya Carrera GT and I am missing the chrome sprue all the others are there and in there original packaging.
I got it on ebay a while ago and forgot who I got it off!
Is there any way to order just that sprue directly from tamiya?

Thanks

You need to contact :
THE HOBBY COMPANY LIMITED 01525-385-798
Not the best to deal with, a bit slow, but they are the UK distributor for Tamiya.

The Hobby Company Ltd number I've used was 01908 605686. Ask for Tamiya replacement parts and I've found them perfectly helpful. A set of decals arrived by special delivery around two days after I called them.

Thanks for all your help guys. I did see the Hobby Company Ltd number when I was searching but I thought they only did RC parts.

I've had to wait for up to 6 weeks for some parts to be shipped to them from Japan but they've always eventually got what I wanted.

I ordered parts form hobby comp before. Although they are quick, they are bloody expensive. They justify that because they say that they are rendering a kit unsellable because thay have nicked parts from it.

I usually contact Tamiya Japan directly or go through HLJ.
