Any 3mm LED will do - the question is, what are you intending to plug it into? The Tamiya MF unit has the current limiting resistor built into it, other systems might require you to add a suitable resistor in line with it to prevent burn out.

Do you not have this part with either your Tamiya or Heng Long chassis?

Or, are you after the metal thickness from a real Sherman?
