Early Tiger 1 Cupola vision blocks

Post by Paul Wills »

Hi all,

Its been a while since I have posted or paid any attention to what is available for the tiger. but as I am doing the old girl up a bit I thought I would ask if anyone had made any vision blocks or detail for the early tiger 1 cupola??

Cheers Paul :wink:

I had made the vision blocks for the turret side view ports. The glass blocks in the early turret were the same size as far as I am aware. I did'nt go as far as to make parts to fit them into the early cupola.

Hi David,

Thanks for the info. Yes I have Mikes upgrade cupola which I fitted some years ago, but no one offered to make the vision blocks at that time. I will see what John at east coast has to offer.

Hi John,

You maybe right about the glass blocks but its the vision blocks and the inserts I am after. if I can't find what I want I will come back to you and see what I can knock up :D

thank, Paul :wink:
