Hi all, I'm looking for parts for a Tamiya Swordfish - the F parts to be precise. I realise it's unlikely anyone has them sat around, but I thought it might be worth a try. Trying to get parts from the Hobby Co. is like pulling teeth. Thanks K

Who's Hobby Co.? You can try Hobby Link Japan (hlj.com) or Rainbowten.com; one of those should be able to buy the parts for you in Japan. hth

Where are you? I know if you contact Tamiya USA they'll lead you by the hand through the process, especially since you seem to have the designation of the right sprue.
If the person needing the parts contacts me via E-mail snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
I can give them the info (I'm at home and it's in my shop) to likely get these in the states. Tamiya has a retail operation with same address as their California headquarters. It took about 7 days to order in a sprue for a 1/16 Tiger.
I have not had trouble getting replacement parts from The Hobby Co, but remember they are only distributors and if they don't have the kits in stock how can they help you?
