Help with lost pieces of Heller 81047 Lützow

[Nico1980]

Hello. I was building this model and unfortunately, in a mix-up, some parts were thrown away. These are the large and small cannons. I estimate I have the following options:

1. Ask the manufacturer, Heller, if they can sell me these parts.

2. Send the parts to a factory in 3D. But I don't have any physical parts, so they would have to manufacture them from online photos of this finished model.

3. Buy the model again.

4. Another option.

What do you recommend? Thank you very much in advance.

You've probably already done what you are going to do, but...

1. I would check online before trying to buy parts from the manufacturer.  Are such purchases decently priced, what is the shipping cost, does the manufacture actually get the product to you in a decent amount of time.
2. The 3D option sounds pricey and buggy.  They would probably need the parts to duplicate anyway.
3. The model is $60 if it is the one I Googled.  Kinda bounce between this option and option 1.  A quick Googly search kinda recommends this option unless you like calling Heller and dorking around with them on your free time.
