I assume the piece you are referring to is the one that hangs down from the
front left end of the red buffer plate. The buffer plate (the main red 6x16
plate in my model) is this one:

I could not find the part I added in Parts Ref - does any know if it is in
there and what it is called? I got two of them in an eBay lot and they have
been sitting on my desk for three or four months. Last night I stuck them
on to add detail, and debated leaving them there. The picture I was working
from didn't have anything like them showing so I will probably remove them.
I am not sure if I like them or not.
