About product

Periscope guards for the American Sherman in 1:16 scale

This product is not a model of the tank but an accessory set of castings for a build in the large 1:16 scale. It replaces the protective guards that on the real vehicle shielded the observation periscopes in the hatches and in the hull roof. The set comes from Firma49, whose small accessories cover several scales, so a builder can get the same element for smaller models too.

What the set solves

The periscope guards on the Sherman are conspicuous and at the same time small, which is an awkward combination for an injection mold. Production parts are therefore usually too thick and have rounded edges. A casting can hold the sharp transition between the wall and the roof of the guard and keep the correct material thickness. On a large-scale model this difference is visible even from a normal viewing distance, because the eye is drawn to the turret and the hatches on a tank.

Recommended procedure

  • wash the castings in lukewarm soapy water to remove the mold release residue
  • cut the casting blocks off with a saw, do not snap them
  • sand wet and with your airways protected
  • glue with cyanoacrylate glue; cement for plastic has no effect on resin
  • apply a primer before painting, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface

Who the set is for

It is intended for builders of large models of American tanks who want to take the turret and the hatches all the way in detail. Working with resin assumes a certain amount of experience, but the reward is a marked improvement in exactly the places every visitor to the cabinet looks at. Neither the base model nor glue is included in the package.

FAQ

It protected the observation periscope in the hatch or in the hull roof from shell splinters and mechanical damage.

It is not. It is an accessory that is fitted to your own kit.

Cyanoacrylate glue suits castings. Ordinary cement for plastic does not dissolve this material, and so it does not hold.

Yes, the brand offers the same element in smaller scales as well, so it can be used on more compact models.
