Mine is coming in Sept. Can't wait.

Anything I should purchase now to expediate the build?

ie does it come with a commander?

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

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

Errrr Emmm err
i seem to have ordered 1
gone for the sand and black version
thought could talk my son into getting 1 lol
but it kind of back fired and i ended up buying 1

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):

what is the piece on the starboard side of the turret w/ the 3 red verticals? antenna???

mine arrived and i'm working on it.

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 )

Thx Mr Wolf.

Makes sense.
