You are right Nate kits are the way to go and sell off what you don't need. I have also found that you need to buy a kit that has parts other will want to buy. If you are just looking for a running chassis buy a King hauler or a Globe, the body sets and chrome will be much easier to sell than say a Mercedes or a Scania.

Guys:

Karen at the AAF Tank Museum will order Tamiya parts for you. She's been helping tankers get parts for years, and Willy knows she has decent prices. Heck, I've ordered through her, and often she has a bvetter quite than eBay, and even the local stores can't come close to her prices.

Go to the AAF website, and go to the PX, and then contact her. Willy's driven his rigs around the 'battlepark' and done 'fom-thr-cvab' video, and even pioneered the 'armor-recovery missions they run. I'm sure she'd be willing to assist.
