Sherman in 1/16 scale.

The mirrors come off. This photo shows one on. However I asked myself the same thing. I'm betting the car modellers have a solution for replicating rear view mirrors.
The Sherman models I've seen have them folded in with the mirror flat against the hull to avoid having to deal with that.
Ahem...

Instead of doing paint on that brass barrel, use some blackening treatment on it. After soaking for a little while it builds up a flat black coating on the brass. I take it out rinse it off and then gently rub it with a paper towel. That removes the flat black and burnishes the brass to a color that looks more like worn gun bluing or browning with highlights. No paint needed and looks so much better.

If you can't find USCHI, the Jax 3.5oz Selenium Dioxide based blackening agent for brass is $10. Also, Ammo of MiG does make a PE Burnishing solution. NOTE: There is a separate solution for blackening white metal (or pewter) tracks from all the companies.
