Is there a company that makes replacement hinged type of periscopes found on open-top AFV's such as marders and panzer jagers, etc? Royal Models makes a set, but they are static ones for installing in cupolas. I'm looking for the hinged type that go up and down (peek-a-boo ).

OK, so I Googled and found that K59 (1120 Productions) make the periscopes. The only venue I found for 1120 productions was an outlet called 'Etsy'. Has anyone dealt with them before? Is there a dedicated hobby store that carries 1120 Prod?

I know R&J Enterprises (rjproducts.com) sell K59; you can call and ask - super nice people to deal with. I believe they are retiring soon, so stock may be low. Call and see.
