Hi Petros,
Both Resicast and Formations do sets.
The Resicast set was SP14, not sure if they are still available, you could email Graham.
Formations also do or did a set of US Periscopes that have the parts you need.
If you have no luck with either PM me you're address and I will send you some. You probably only need one on the drivers side, but cold show both open. Which kit is your model? You might have some spare in the box you could alter.

hey Petros!
first of all,the base and scenery are stunning,if I could do only a tenth of what you've achieved I would do more dioramas instead of plain bases! but........
I don't know if it's already been pointed out but Vc's had the hull machinegun removed and blanked off,the co driver's position being used as an extra ammunition bin.That said the paintjob on your firefly is awesome and overall your Normandy scene is fantastic
looking forward to future posts....

loving the way this is going. from one of your earlier pictures i noticed that the helmet for one of the figures sits a bit high. you might want to alter this, cut a bit off the top of hs head or something.

Hi stufer!
I know about the machine gun but I couldn't find the piece in the kit box, I will load the front of the sherman with jerricans sleeping bags and other things so I think this will not be a problem.

Which colour its better for painting British soldiers?
I'm thinking the English uniform from Vallejo for basic colour, shadows with English uniform mix with olive drab also from Vallejo and for the lights with English uniform and light flesh from Andrea.

Hi Petros,
Vallejo English Uniform should do the job, shades, sounds a good mix.

Great work!
The dio really gives the look of a destroyed city.
One tip:
Try to place the figures a bit more to the walls. That way they would have more cover and aren't shot so fast in the open.
