Thanks Phil

The tracks have been painted, but need to be weathered. The motors have been installed and the track stowage bars too....

Phil,

Just like June 6th, 1944, a small break in the weather.

The new guard is Sgt. Schultz. However, I do have two other reliable guards....

For those of you that have not seen Mike's glass prisms, this gives you an idea of how incredible they truly are.

Amazing stuff from Mike. Are they real glass or resin.

Hi Guys

Don't like to use this forum to plug my parts, but do need to explain about the glass and resin prisms. The real glass prisms are real optics made by a optic company and work just like the real ones. These are special order and I have to have a minimum of 50 units ordered ( you need two units per periscope). I do not have any in stock so if you are interested in these let me know. If I can get enough orders I can get another batch made. These only fit my Tiger and Panther upright periscope (TT28, TT33 and Pan 15) and not the late cupola periscopes which are angled.

The resin cast prism for both the upright and angled periscopes do not function and are for detail only. These have the appearance of real glass.

For more information see my several posts on Periscopes and Prism in the Craftsman's Market, you will have to search for them as the post have been done over the last few year.

Regards
Mike
