Dear All

I have a Takom m31 kit and I cannot find the strip of bolts for the transmission housing, is it just me or are they missing the ‘E’ spure carrier has a gap where the part is in the Lee and Grant kits and it looks intentional, has anybody else spotted this to?

all the best

I don't have any of these kits, but a look at pictures of the sprues for the M3 Lee and M31 on The Modelling News website clearly shows that the bolting strip that is Part #20 in the M3 Lee kit is now molded as part of the front plate (Part #28) in the M31 kit.

Ah Jon it is indeed, some times you cannot see the wood for the trees, thank you.
