Who makes the bras bits - e.g. the C towing hooks? I haven't seen those before.

Ah yes, Wecohe. Very nice. I might get one of these fire extinguishers for my Tiger 1.

I seem to remember looking for them some time ago but they had disappeared from the net.

And the travel lock?

Very nice - more Wecohe?

Most plastic wire cutters with 1/16 kits are pretty ropey but the ones that come with the Tamiya Tiger 1 are very well moulded. These are even better!

The handles on the originals were usually (always?) made from Bakelite so I wouldn't exaggerate the wooden finish...
