Default RE: Pershing Progress....so far

Looking good! [sm=thumbup.gif]

One thing that I have found with the Tamiya Pershing is that if you are not VERY careful when you grab it, the plastic headlight covers break. [] I have re-glued and replaced mine until I am at my wits' end! [:@] Every time I take it for a spin, I break one or the other of those stupid little things! I hate 'em!!!

I tried to fabricate a set, but I was not able to bent the flat metal into the correct, curved shape. I contacted both Backyard Armor and Tankzone to find out if anyone is working on metal replacement parts, like the ones they have for the Sherman, but apparently they are not. I may just order another set of the Sherman headlight covers and see if I can convert/modify them to suit my Pershing.
