Hello my friends before i have to go and pay stupid money in the USA
Would anyone know the where abouts in europe of an F-parts tree for a Blackfoot 58058
Part number: 10005254 F-PARTS (0005254 )(X9939)
Its the chrome front and rear bumpers so obviously rarest of all parts on one of them

They are repro on the bay for the grill. And for the rear bumper, I took a midnight pumpinks one on my blackfoot/ ranger. It is the same or very similar.

Im trying to keep it as original as i can Flo so dont really want to use repro
Having said that are the repro chrome?
An original f part tree in USA is gunna cost £62 and my pal in us will ship it with a load of kyosho double dare parts im getting off him, so only the us $7 postage
This vintage game is expensive if the wrong bits are missing

Sure chrome parts are very expensive. And repro grills are resina ones. Rere ones have custom grills sorry I have no spares for the bf.

I used a re-release Blackfoot grille on my faked Ranger, cutting out the inner section & making one more like the vintage part ... I'm not saying you'd want to do the same - just that the cost of buying a re-re and repro grille & cutting & shutting the two, and still not having the genuine part might put the price of the genuine article in perspective.

Finished listing on eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/...2506929896; same thing on shapeways (www.shapeways.c...arketplace) costs a bit more but the postage is a lot better ... call it 26 GBP in total by the tie you've paid exchange rate fees, plus a re-re grille: toystamiyaparts has them on ebay at 12.25 GBP (www.ebay.co.uk/...1962793688), so 38 GBP for a re-re/repro grille.

I didn't make any note on making my own grille insert (tamiyabase.com/...own-ranger) but it looks to be 1.5mm sheet & some fine round rod.

It looks like the USA one will be getting ordered then, I also need back fender as well so all in all £65 don’t seem too out the way for original front and back
I also need driver, Any ideas if the re-re is identical? It’s a difference of £12 between re-re and original
Cheers for the input pal

I honestly don't know - the re-re H parts lost the F O R D on the tailgate, it's possible the driver base gained different part numbers or recycling codes.

It’s still got its original tailgate so don’t need that,
A question, to a collector years down the line do ya think rere driver(if it is marked to make it obvious it’s rere ) would have much of an impact on its value?
