I managed to steal a few minutes while making dinner to make a handle for the lower Engine Bay door. I had already removed the molded on slab that HL used for a handle so all that was required was to find or make a replacement. I counted up what I had in spares and what Schumo sent and I had 4 handles, enough for the turret and front hatches. No love for the needed fifth handle. No problem. I had learned this trick from Wibbly-Wobbly and used it before on my HL King Tiger which had also come with molded on hatch handles. I grabbed a small drywall brad and clipped off the head. Then I used two pair of needle nose pliers and bent it into a reasonably scale handle. A measurement and a twist with a #61 and yankee drill for a pilot hole were followed up with a 1\16 bit. A couple of drops of glue and the handle was installed and ready for eventual painting. Pictures:
