I cant praise the following product enough
Panzerarts periscope guards RE35 767
After some sodding around with the photetch and making a complete hash of it I went for above guards they are a tad priceey at 12quid a pack but youll see in the pics well worth it.
To get to fit properly you have to remove the molded exisiting bolts on the periscope base itself that in itself is a job and a half but like i say praise indeed

ther following pics show
Green is ummm green stuff putty, yellow is Tamiya, light green is a mix of green stuff plus magic sculpt and grey is value gear
i did a mix to see what i liked working with best there was no conclusive answer as they all worked.
straps were old tape lying about and lead foil,...enjoy
