Hello all. Several years ago I built a Tamiya Char B1 bis and never completed it. A couple of months ago I decided to repaint it with a more ambitious camo scheme, so I stripped it down. Then I decided to do a PE upgrade before repainting. The Eduard PE set contains a mount for an auxiliary light...that I don't have. I'm sure that I'm missing a couple of other smaller original parts from the kit that I haven't yet discovered. Any ideas or sources from which to buy parts? Tamiya doesn't seem to sell spares. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...my OCD will otherwise keep me up nights.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I'm sure I'll be able to track something down for replacements.
