Default Panzer III H Towing Lug

In rebuilding and detailing my Panzer III H I managed to lose the left hand towing lug on the front of the tank.
I"ve looked everywhere and it's gone. I've checked Mato and other suppliers and aftermarket dealers but
no luck. Does anyone have one I can purchase? modelbob71

a bit of styrene or leftover parts and a file and you can make one in 15 minutes. Just copy the other, drill a hole and file around it.

If you are not yet into scale model or conversions, this is a very good start. Once you see how easy it is, you will be making a lot of your own parts.

You can also send Mato a email off their site requesting the part. I'm sure they have one to sell. I have not had any problems acquiring parts like that from them.

Second on emailing Mato...I've had great success in getting parts from them. Only problem I've had has been getting answers to my emails. Not sure if they get stuck in a junk folder...

I tried Mato and even their repair facility, no luck. I could scratch it myself, just thought someone might have one they don't need.
