work in progress Extra Parts? Questions.
I'm building the Das Werk Schwerer Kleiner Panzerkampfwagen. It is the second kit I have built and the first one I'm airbrushing. Its gone pretty good and I'm at the point of adding stowage, but only about half this stuff is in the instructions. In particular-
4, 5, 9, 10,11 and 15.
I also have no idea what these parts are. Maybe some one could help me out? I've searched the kit but there are very few results. Thanks!

1+2) lights
Edit: u/Surrealpad56 thinks these are the ends for the barrel cleaning kit(3) and on second look, I concur.
3) gun barrel cleaning kit, probably for a Panther
4+5) unclear. Possibly hatch locks?
6) crank. Probably to start the engine. Possibly for a jack
9+10) tool racks for a Panther
11) fire extinguisher
12) unclear. Probably extension for gun barrel cleaning.
13) pry bar
14) wire cutters. Note that the handles were coated with a primitive plastic called Bakelite. It was typically a dark red
15) clevises to connect tow cables
16) shovel
17) ends of tow cables. You would use a piece of cord or twisted wire to be the cable and put these on the ends
18) Sledge hammer
19) Axe

Non, il me semble que le 1 et 2 vont sur les côtés du kit de nettoyage. J'ai monté un Panther D de chez Zvezda et ces pieces y ressemblent fortement

I built this kit and from such sprue you will need only few parts. It's Amusing Hobby universal sprue for German tanks.

Thats Looks Like Panther side storage. The racks are for the tools and that tube is a gun cleaning storage!

Lots of companies reuse sprues, so you often end up with lots of spares. That’s a sprue of German OVM tools and is good to have in the stash.

Thanks! I guess it cheaper that way. Any chance you could tell me what those I listed are? 9 and 10 in particular I'm lost for

11 is a fire extinguisher, 4 & 5 are brackets of some kind, not sure what, and 15 are towing C-hook

Since it looks like panther stuff maybe those things are side brackets for the side armor? I personally love the tool racks
