For the second time, the ring is removed and destroyed in the process, there is no way back. Holes are plugged.
A new binocular guard is created in 4mm x 1mm thick brass strip.
New mounts are created using references.
A new ring for the left side of the cupola is made in 1mm plasticard plate using a simple roundel maker. The right side is more square.
Overview of the new cupola. I added a guard for the rear periscope and other small items seen in reference. Also seen are the gunner's hatch.
What seemed to be a leather sling has been recreated in brass. This is no metal handle.
The hatch closes.
