Hi Guys;
I am looking for Info, on the Commanders Hatch Periscopes Inside and Outside. Is there a AM company that makes a Detail set in PE for the Periscopes Guards in 1/35 that are for the Firefly.
Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated !!
CHEERS; MIKE.

Do you mean the wire periscope guards on various hatches and atop the turret that are typical of other Shermans? If so, try this:

If you want the 'all-in' bet, Aber in Poland has a couple of Firefly Vc photoetch sets. The one with all the periscope and hatch detail inside and out is here:

You can also use the Eduard PE set, that is what I am using for my Vc.

Since you're building a Firefly (I assume a VC), then check your picture references. Some were based on donor M4A4s that did NOT have the periscope guards. Most did have them but occasionally, pics emerge of VCs without the wire guards.
Also remember, don't insert a protruding periscope in the asst driver's hatch. That area was blanked off with an additional ammo bin -- no crewman sat there in the typical Firefly.
