I've recently purchased a Dragon M4A3E8 Sherman online. However I've completed, well almost the lower hull. Last night to my dismay I've found I only have 23 road wheel tyres when I should have 24!!
I couldn't believe it.
I've never tried scratchbuilding anything before so does any one have any ideas?
The box was sealed as new so were the respective bags inside. I've searched high and low just to be sure I'm not making a fool of myself.
Tips would be gratefully accepted.

Might try contacting DragonCare on their website. They usually have pretty good response time and will get you what you need.

What did you think of that kit overall? Is it worth the time and money and effort to build? I am limited now in all three and choose my subjects carefully.

Sorry for the delay in replying. It is a good kit to build, but to be honest I was a little worried about the individual track links. Got them done eventually. If I was to do another I would get some etched brass light guards as the ones in the kit were not up to my over zealous fingures especially when they were holding a craft knife. And if you get the chance buy another two pairs of hands for putting the bogies together. Pain in the rear end.
Other than that I enjoyed it.
