Default Barrel Plug for Matorro Stumtiger needed

I've got a Sturmtiger that I've managed to lose the barrel plug for. Anybody got one? Thanks.

Jeff,
If you can provide me a sketch and some dimensions, I'll make you one, or if you don't mind waiting as soon as I get my new Sturm, you can have mine and cast one, that's what Aimee and I spoke about at the battle.

Thanks for the offers. I am pretty bummed about an incomplete tank.  I'm getting desperate for help on this.  Matomart has been emailed some time ago, but like it has been with every past attempt of mine to contact them....no response.  [:@]

I hate to scratch one out when I know you'll be purchasing one soon.  Still, thanks for the encouragement. 

Maybe at the next battle we can look at the size of the gun to determine feasibility of scratching one? 

Thanks.

Jeff,

Did you lose it at the field? I don't recall doing a thorough FOD walk this last tank battle day but did find a tow hook and a TC's headset out there!

Hope you find it or can get a response.

I have to ask a dumb question, but what is it used for? I mean (DUH) I know where it goes but why need it?

Sorry ... curiosity got the better of me. []

Dave, I haven't seen it, but you are correct, there's been no FOD walk at the field recently.  Likely, any part would be in the berm surrounding the field as it has been aggressively broom swept prior to the last few battles.  It may be buried by now.  Truth is, we don't even know where we lost it.  We battle at several clubs.  It could also be at the battlefield for the San Diego club as well.  We're pretty sure it isn't at home.  We've looked thoroughly for it.

Jeff,  It's the wife's tank, not mine.  Otherwise, I (like you) probably wouldn't care, as the plug is purely aesthetic, and removed before each battle.   However, in practice it works like this...the tank isn't perfect[X(]...that bothers wife...which in turn, bothers me[:@]...I'm sure everyone can understand.

FYI,

I just received an email from Matomart and have replied.  Hopefully, they'll have one they'll sell.  I'll update when I hear back.

I see ... gotcha! It's a V.I.P. then, huh.



Very Important Part.

I am converting one to an 88mm-armed paper panzer, so I don't need the one that came with mine. (I had to look through the parts to make sure I didn't throw it out, before I said anything). Nope - I still have it and it's yours if you want it. -Mike

I've seen those before, pretty menacing looking tank. I'd like to build one someday to sit side-by-side next to my Sturmtiger. That is, if I get around to it.

Make sure you post some pics of it when it's finished!
