Hello everyone.
I have read many articles on the challenges the Germans faced during World War II in building their tanks. My question is, I made a mistake on a King Tiger I'm building and would like to represent this tank as having left the factory without the brackets for the towing clevis on the rear plate. I know that ultimately, this is my model and I'm not building an actual tank. Yet, it may help me sleep better knowing if this was something feasible.
Thanks everyone in advance.

Pretty easy to scratch up new ones.

....or just ask on here. I'm sure there are a bunch of people who have some in their parts boxes.

Through pure serendipity, I found the piece I dropped on the floor. One of the issues I face is, between my eyesight going bad and lack of dexterity in my hands, scratch building and photo etch is becoming more difficult. With this said, time has given me patience. And, at the end of the day, we are talking about pieces of plastic.
