To make things more difficult I lost one of the periscopes i cut off to the carpet gods and had to make 2 extras. From this photo you can see that the periscope to the left looks allright (this is one I made myself) but trust me, the rest are shit house and already have had 2 coats of putty. I just don't understand why the 3 remaing periscopes i transplanted fit so terribly. Why is it that once a model manufacturer is aware of a problem they don't fix it!!! I know margins are small and all that other business crap but surely over the 30+ year life of a kit wouldn't they sell more and have happier customers if they made the corrections. I hope dragon (DML) is listening to this re: their new T34/76 1940 and it's terrible tracks (my next blog).
