Hi,

Aahg! I seem to have lost the hatch on my 1/35th scale Tamiya Tiger tank in transport. Any suggestions as to how I can scratch build or acquire one? It's been many years since I've done military modeling, and I'm a bit rusty. This is the rectangular hatch, not the round one. Thanks for any direction.---Jeff

Which kit is it? I might be able to help you out.

Hello Jesse,

It is this one (photo not mine). You can see the rectangular hatch. Tamiya 1/35th scale.

Thanks,

this one?



do you intend to glue it in the closed position, as pictured above, or do you need both sides?

Why yes! That's it! I would glue it closed, I have the figure in the other hatch. What do you want for it? I will of course cover your postage.

oh, um.. I was going to describe how to scratch build one. Much easier if in the closed position because there will be only one side visible

I can't part with this part because it's the only one I have

Oh sure, that's ok. Would appreciate the scratch-build info, thanks.


Jeff

ok, look here again this evening. I'm doing stucco and painting the house right now but I'll draw something up for you by then

I think I have one! Let me check my stock and I"ll get back to you in a little bit.

Jesse

The materials needed will be styrene of the specified sizes or any plastic material that can be cut, sanded and glued

dimensions will be LENGTH X WIDTH X THICKNESS, dimensions are to be as close as possible






assemble by laminating the parts you created



hope this help

Thanks for your time!


Jeff

cool cool

Hello Jesse,

No, it didn't get thru for some reason. Here is my email if that's alright: [email protected].
