what are these
 

Rooky question but what are these? Handles? View ports? THis is from my HL tiger. How do I make them look right?

RE: what are these
 

Thats the periscope port.

A triangular piece of clear plastic in there is whats needed... look around at the other tanks, and you'll see how some have done this.

RE: what are these
 

ya i noticed they kind point in random directions. also gotta love how they painted the tools.

RE: what are these
 

yeh, cut those tools off, best thing I did, they look pretty poor.

RE: what are these
 

yes, tools will come off but I'm asking about the periscopes. Can someone post a pic of how they should look?

RE: what are these
 

No sorry :-( Can we talk about tools some more?

;)

RE: what are these
 

On your other thread I was the guy that pointed out that you shaved your tools off the hull

Hi Perry, heres a pic of the loaders periscope on a King tiger the armoured surround is bigger on the KT but the periscope will be very similar to the Tiger

Cheers Ian

RE: what are these
 

Here is a photo of Tamiya's Static Tiger. It includes the hinges, latch, and periscope. If the hatch can be separated from the hull, you could add these. I have a Full Option Tiger, and since the hatches are separate parts, it was easy to add them. The kit has been discontinued, but parts are still available. What you would look for is Item #36203 1/16 German Tiger Early Prod. The 'K' sprue that you need.

Thanks all, I think I can make up a reasonable facsimile out of styrene now:D
