Who stocks Sherman periscope guards?

Post by B_Man »

Does anyone know of a vendor that stocks Schumo parts besides Axel's and ETO Armor? I'm looking for a set of Sherman periscope guards but Axel wants to charge me 35euro for shipping to Australia 8O 8O 8O and ETO is currently out of stock.

As far as I can see Schumo are the only company that makes decent looking guards which is a bit of a suprise with all the shermans kicking about these days. I have seen the Mato version but they look way too chunky. I have also thought about making up a set but they look a bit fiddly unless anyone has some trade secrets?

I emailed them to make sure it wasn't an error on with the order form and Axel replied to say he could post it in a registered letter. No word yet on what that would cost but he did say I couldn't pay via PayPal if I took that option not that that makes much difference really.

A registered letter is €15, a bit under twice the cost of the part itself. Frustrating but the cost of living in paradise I suppose. :/
