Im currently in the process of building the field models tiger I initial, kit number 5075. I am missing part PA1 which attached the lower hull and the upper hull over the drive sprocket. Does anyone know who to email at Rye field, I’ve tried three different emails so far and there Facebook page? Also, if anyone has part PA1 I’ll pay for shipping to get it.
Have you tried looking on ebay for that part?
according to their own website: support@ryefield-model.com
@golikell i used that and got an invalid email address response.
@Dan ive tried eBay as well. I may have to look for another kits parts and readjust my search criteria.
Good luck! I looked up that part and its quite important.

That is rather odd. A FB chat session perhaps?
On their FB site there is also an address: after-sales@ryefield-model.com
I used a mail validator and, while the support address seems non existent the after sales apparently does.
@golikell I used the other address from FB. I sent them a chat last night so hopefully they read it soon.
@Dan yeah it’s a hell if a part to be missing, i could in theory make one from styrene sheets but it wouldn’t be as good.

Short shot?
Being a flat plate, it wouldn’t be too difficult to make with some sheet styrene. Maybe 0.040 for the main part and 0.020 for the fenders. A few bolts and some putty for weld lines.
@HeavyArty i do have styrene and another RFM Tiger I that I could copy. The details could be lacking on it but for the most part i could use puddy like Nightshift and remake the welds. The hardest part would be making the joints for the fenders.
