centurion MkIII turret

Hey all,
here is an update of my centurion tank. I still have to drybrush, wash, and weather the thing, but the assembly is done.On this kit I have shaved all the grabhandles, and made new ones out of wire, added wire runs, and antenna cable to the reel, and to the smoke dischargers. The only question I have is did this thing have any kind of coating on the periscope lenses? If so what color?

Well I hope you enjoy the pics, I will post all done pics when I finish it. Any coments are welcome.

thanks

jim

Digger,
After thinking about it all day, I think I’ll go with the clear blue over the silver. It should look nice. Thanks for the Idea.

Looks Great , I like the idea of the wire grab handles ! I normally paint my periscope lenses gloss black , but I am trying new methods that I have found in the forum , on my modern armor , M-1’s , Bradley’s , Leopard 2’s , etc. Great bunch of modellers in here , that have ideas for anything !
