                        Here is a cut-away drawing that should help. I can't seem to find a good photo of one yet.



                        Thanks for the intro. Wink [;)]

                        All of the KTs had periscopes in the commander's cupola so far as I know. They should look like rectangular blocks evenly spaced around the rim. They would be black framed with reflective middles for the glass. Don't have any pics but am sure Peridexion or another photo reference librarian will be along shortly. Big Smile [:D]

                        I am about to start a Tamiya King Tiger. Around the comanders copula on the turret, there is a ring of openings that I assume are for periscopes. Is this what they are for? Did they all have periscopes in them? I can't find any info on this.
                        Does anybody know of any references or pics on the net? Any advice is appreciated.
