Does anyone know the real dimensions of the commander's sight as used in the T-55/ T-62? (mounted at the 12 o clock position in the cupola)
See this image (remove xxx):

It's a very visible sight but not included in any kit.
Thanks in advance.

...but some early t-62 (1962) could have the TPKU device...

You're right. I'm currently building a T-62 and thought I lost a clear part as all the other periscopes or vision blocks were on the clear parts sprue. It's a weird choice from Trumpeter but this sight is not that difficult to make if intend to fill the void.
Thanks for the input Mauro and Frenchy

I wanted to do, because at the tower interior, ZSU-23-4 by vehicle make, it can be (is visible).
It is my pleasure, the Trumpeter attach to the BTR-60PB kit. :-)
