So I am in need of some turrent hatches for my sherman. My cat ate them....the bastard.

Anyway, is there a way I can order just the hatches from the resin guys, or even better, have one of yall mail me the unused ones (if available).

I don't mind paying for a resin set, but I can't just find a set for under $10. Are there just resin hatch sets?

Yeah, right

I too have a cat who likes to help. Which hatches and which Sherman and where would I have to post them to ?

Rob

Both Resicast and Tank workshop do seperate hatches for the Sherman

www.tigermodels.com

They also make resin replacements. Where do you live and which kit's hatch do you need? You're right -- I probably have what you need in my spares bin. I live in Michigan. Feel free to email me: [email protected]

By the way, it's TURRET and not TURRENT.

HTH

A better and cheaper solution: open the "bastard", recover the hatches and close him. He should not suffer from any injury! :-)

Hey Roy

The Dog just ate my Tasca Sherman Vc Firefly kit, the Stinker ! Could you please send me one of your spares, Priority Mail.

Thanks !

I assume since this is the 1/48 forum that you are talking about a 1/48 Sherman, in which case the previous suggestions for resin won't work, as those companies produce 1/35. For 1/48, Gasoline makes a Sherman update set that contains hatches plus a barrel and some other stuff. You can get it here for $9.50 US

I know how you feel, if i dont close the door to my workshop all the way ill find my cat laying ontop of the remains of what was a model.

Quarter Kit Shop has some pretty good stuff from Gasoline.

YOUR CAT ATE THEM???
what sort of cat have you got, a tiger, that is just great, you couldnt write that in a story, anyway, is it a Tamiya kit, if so get in touch with them via e mail on thier web site, Tamiya UK/USA/ASIA, thay are able to send out replacement parts and sprues, probably for less that it would cost for resin replacements, I have got [plenty of spare hatches, but none in 1/48 scale, also try putting a post on the kit swap forums, somebody will have spares somewhere, maybe they can swap/buy for you.

cheers mate,
be carefull of the cat!!
