Global Scale Modeller

1. I lost one half of the PE shield for the main hatch. I have looked on and off for more than 6 months. It is just gone. So, if any one has the Eduard PE and won’t be using the kit PE I would love to buy it from you. I checked Tamiya’s spare part site and they don’t list that sprue as being available.

2. Both headlamps broke off and have been lost to whatever abyss holds the first part. I’d be grateful for some good close up pictures of any 222 headlamps either on the sprue or on a finished model. I will then make a 3D model and print my own replacement. The PE part above is too thin for my printer.

Any help would be appreciated. My modeling resolutions for this year are to finish off my doom models.

From memory your's was the Afrika Korps version, but working on the assumption that the parts are the same here are A7 & A8 on the sprue front & back





Let me know if you need something else/different and I'll take a swipe at the weekend - I'll try & figure out a side angle to show the curves somehow

Nope, that is perfect!
