I lost one of the grab handles that go in to the top of the turret on my 1/35th Pz. IV.
Does anyone have a spare, or an old Tamiya Pz. IV kit they would sell me?

Make one with copper or brass wire of appropriate diameter.

I have some wire, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do it with any approximate degree of accuracy. I don't have many tools at my disposal

To be more specific .... PZ. IV handles have a particular shape which I doubt I will be able to replicate with my limited skills.

Greg, thanks a lot. I was actually able to make an OK looking handle out of wire. So don't worry about it.
