A genuine reproduction! Nice work.
Thank you kind sir.
It is really sad to lose important pieces like a hatch and not be able to get replacement parts. It's one of the main reasons I learned to cast things, so I could bring vehicles out of the junk yard and put them back in service.
Thanks for reading.

Yes I had to cast some of my own parts too ...
It's good to have the skills to make little bits. Sometimes I cast them, sometimes I scratch build the parts I need. I am trying to bring as many of my old Roco collection back into full service as possible. Out of just shy of 100 M47 tanks I have only had one that was not recoverable, it had no turret, no main gun, no turret hatch, and the hull was badly warped. It did donate a new right side suspension set to another tank that had a mis-molded one. So I have about a 99% success rate!
Thanks for reading and commenting Legion4.
