1/16 Sherman grab handles/ tie downs

[Floridabucco]

Hello everyone I am in search of aftermarket 1/16 grab handles……does anyone know of any avaliable? I have searched but no luck…….the picture below is what the kit gives you…..molded on the hull…..totally not acceptable in today’s modern molding.

Cut off the moulded loops, bend some thin copper wire into shape and superglue it to the model?

[Floridabucco]

Yeah……I thought about that…when I used to do it in 1/35 it never quite looked right to me…..I am afraid in 1/16 it really will look not right.

what the 1/16 look like. Smaller than 1/6.

This is the storage shelf mounted on back of the engine deck…I believe these are supposed to be tie downs also?
