Seidel got those rims, F&R for the same price

oh and the body for 25€

What's Seidel? please. I'm very interested to do 1 replica just to end my TA02 collection

Aux sérieux? How could you have gathered your collection without it?

Anybody know a source on eBay for 5mm black shrink tube (14AWG and above?) that definitely has no lettering on it?
I think I'll be using this on my electronics by the way, be it 'only' esthetic :



Posterity

Wasn't aware this stuff existed (tip from Tizer on Tamiyagekken).

Yup the main two reasons why most is always out of stock, Edou and me.

Without Seidel we would be happely lying in our hamocks in front of our villa's in the Caribic

I often end up cutting the tiny clear bits from between the shrink tube lettering which doesn't seem very efficient.
Edit - 6mm would also be fine. Maybe I'll ask a couple of traders that have photos suggesting the tube's all black.

Flo, it's not a crime if you don't get caught.
Seidel's the kind of shop that requires a lot of finger clicking control.
There's always something else that would come in handy...

My problem with Seidel is the is psychology of the 9.95 EUR shipping charge.

Even with that, I usually only have to order 2 items to be better off than buying from the UK, but then the shipping seems like such high proportion of the total, I have to add a couple more things to make it a "more reasonable" percentage of the total. This is why I have 8 NIP Wild Willy drivers, for example

The key things is the ability to hide something when it arrives. Then, when asked "is that new?", you can honestly reply "No, I've had it for months". Believe me, this works much better than pointing out that collecting toy cars is no different to amassing lots of shoes, or especially cushions

Spot on.
