I'm building the Hobbyboss 1/16 Tiger 1 and there are just holes in the commander's cupola where the glass vision blocks should be.
Has anyone got any idea how I can replicate the glass that should be in there?
I've got a photo of the cupola but I can't seem to upload it to this post!!

Hobby Beast doesn't give you anything for it ?
Good grief - doubt that kit is inexpensive

I'm quite horrified that a 1:16 kit doesnt include vision blocks!?

No, it's not expensive - that's why I was able to afford it!

Hi David,
Do you have any photographs of the cupola that show the glass?

Thank you for the picture David. It looks as though the glass is not at the front of the opening but about halfway back. Would that be correct?
