Good Morning,
It does not come with a Commander but our very own Forgebear Shop can set you up with a good one!
regards,
Painless

P.S. Yep, I need one myself...Plenty of German and American guys hanging around, even A Soviet or two but no British...

In addition to Forgebear ( https://www.forgebeartanks.com/apps/sea ... uct&page=4 ) here are three more possibilites. The first two are made by one of RCTW's very own Canadians: (and they will eventually be assigned to my Crusader and Churchill):

Good Evening,
That piece that you are referring to is a Manual Aiming Sight for the Periscope located on the Turret Roof. Gunners or Commanders Sight I do not know, I am not familiar with British Armor yet. ( So correct me if I am wrong )
