I am getting ready to move and in cleaning out of my work room I have come across several more sets of these castings. I have 6 sets if you would like to make a SCREEN ACCURATE remote. This means only 6 "frying pan" hatches from the tank that will leave the remote asymmetrical. For now I would like to sell as many sets as possible so would prefer to sell only screen accurate sets. If you want additional hatches for symmetry I will make more after I get moved and setup in my new house. Or if nobody bites I will have extra and sell the extra hatches for symmetry like before.

*Note - the parts in the pictures are beige. The parts I have available may be any combination of beige, white, or gray. If you prefer all the same color I will try but no promises.

Pricing will remain the same, $50 for the main set as seen in pictures. (only 6 hatches)

If you want a set please confirm that you are ready to buy and I will put you on a list and send you payment information.

I will ship via USPS Priority mail for $9 in the continental US. If you are outside of the US please send me your shipping address and I will get you a shipping quote.

I have molded the parts from the 1/48 Bandai Panther G used for the Jedi Training Remote. I had room in the molds for the Kenworth T600 axle brackets so they would be included in the set. These parts are all made from two part molds and cast in a pressure pot.

It takes me a while to make a complete set mainly due to the small hatch that looks like a frying pan. The actual prop uses only 8 of these on the top, but if you want symmetry you need 8 for the bottom. The kit only comes with one so that mold has to work overtime. I am thinking of offering the set with 8 for a base price and then offering 8 more for an additional charge.

I have already done most of the cleanup on the parts in the pictures. You may have to remove pour/vent sprues and flash from the parts you would receive.

Any interest?

maybe interested, depending on price.

It is going to seem high, but I am thinking $50 for the base plus $5 if you want the additional 8 parts for the bottom. Plus shipping. To justify, if you buy 8 Panther G kits you are looking at least $400; $800 for 16 kits. Those are conservative numbers. These have gotten crazy on ebay over the last couple of years. The Kenworth can be had for $30-$50. Even if you mold the parts like I have it takes about 4 hours to make a complete set by the time I prep the molds pour, and demold.

Would it be possible to buy a set of the hubcaps?

I am only offering what I have in the picture. I do not plan to mold/cast the silver truck wheel rims. I am going to use real kit parts for those. If you mean just the tank commander hatch then it would be possible, but the price per part will go up because I will have to break up a set. Probably $15 plus shipping.
 
I have switched the thread from Interest to Limited Run. See the updated first post for more information.

Thanks
 
Shipping to Germany
Interested in 1 set plus the additional hatches, minus the truck parts - as i have all original kits/parts and am only missing the Panther parts.
 
Definitely interested. Maybe 2 kits.


are you going to offer the other round discs with /without posts as well?
