Tow Hooks

Post by Afrikakorps »

Hi Guys,
on a recent battle day , I lost several tow hooks from my Tamiya M26 Pershing. :'( They are somewhere in the grass but being green they are far too well camouflaged. :haha:
So, I was wondering if any of you learned Gentlemen know where I could get replacement hooks ?
I think that I have seen metal versions, but cannot recall from where.
I much appreciate any help.
Cheers

I cannot help you with new hooks for your Pershing But have you thought about tying a piece of string around a magnet and trawling through the grass for them ?

I think they might be plastic so neither of those suggestions will work.
We Aussies might not be real smart but we sure can lift heavy things.

You mean the towing hitches on the front glacis?

I have two metal ones left over from my last project :)

It's for a tamiya pershing but could well fit.
