Hey fellas,

I'm trying to finish up my Tamiya Abrams TUSK II, I'm stuck on the periscopes. Tamiya gives you a piece of clear plastic that you're supposed to cut, paint and install. This is a pain in the ass to put it simply. I tried to use the reflective Mylar from the party whistles. This coupled with the clear plastic just isn't cutting it. Is there another easy/better option for these Tamiya Abrams?

You can try some sheet plastic cut to size. Paint it black then give it several coats of clear red to build up some depth. Good luck.
