Hi folks.
I'm building an M4A3w75mm VVSS(Tamiya) and somehow the drivers hatch seems to have disapeared from my work bench.This is a total bummer since I had scratchbuilt the periscope guard,handle,etc... and I don't have any spares since I just recently got back into armor building.
If anyone would have a spare one and is willing to part with it please let me how know how much you want for it and we'll make arrangements.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out with this.
Ron.

Uhm, I *think* I have just the part you are looking for in my spares box, as just last year I scraped an old M4A3 from Tamiya that I build about a decade ago. you'll have to clean it up a tiny bit and maybe reconstruct a little of the hinge, but overall it is in good shape.

Yours free if you want it. PM me your address if you do.

Tamiya offers a parts service. Why not contact them directly? They'll probably sell you the whole sprue that the part is attached to but the price will be nominal.
