Does anyone know where I could get a replacement spring for the suspension? I lost one to the carpet monster and can't find anywhere that sells springs small enough.

Cut down a spring from a ballpoint pen? Or if you don't actually need the gimmicky working suspension, use one of the excess bits of plastic that are attached to the return rollers in this kit. See Sherman V "Cock o'the North", 1 November 1944 | Album by Jakko (1:35)

Changed it to new tool, as the only thing it as in common with the other kit is the clear sprue and the B sprue with the tools and MG, all the other sprues are different, even a different hull part.
