WTB single part or casting from Vintage Tamiya Quad Gun Tractor (Kit# MM145) - Imurme - 05-06-2017
I have been looking for a specific part for my ESB Millennium Falcon build, the part number is C22 and needs to be from an early vintage Tamiya Quad Gun Tractor. The kit number was MM145 and will not be in any of the later kits with the same name, later numbered as 35045.
As I understand it, this kit was retooled mid-production early on during the first release and so only some kits with the kit number MM145 have the correct part needed for the ESB falcon, later kits have this part but it is slightly different. The part I need (shown below) should have one of the circles INDENTED rather than both sticking out like it is in later kits.
If any one has this specific part in their Quad Gun Tractor kits I would really like to purchase it, or a casting of the part, or the whole kit if desired. I also have the means to mold and cast the part if you need the part returned. If possible I would need to see the part to confirm it is the correct one. Thanks.

You are correct. Galactica builders will also need the vintage part before it was re-tooled. If someone could mold/cast this it would be very helpful!

found it on ebay. i looked for the older models of the tractor and the tractor/gun combo. then i emailed them ALL. i mean ALL of them XD and voilá: only 1 of them (luckily from Germany) had the right one. This was really a very lucky find. It's in a kit of the vintage version of the tractor/gun combo. the kit is in transit and should arrive at my place by tomorrow.
Shane, just mail me so we can arrange stuff ;-)

Olli, I have tried to contact you via PM and by email but have not heard back from you so I thought I would try posting on this thread to see if you will see it and contact me...thanks.
Does anyone else know of or have this kit part they can send to me or I can get a cast of, I can also make molds myself so we could work out sending it back to you if needed...thanks.
