Thanks Guys.
There must be a lot of different types of gloves available. I was so happy when i found something in the house that seems to do well, i did not even think of going a step further and do some shopping. The interior texture is the same as the exterior. Anyway, it should look good painted with a thin layer of acrylic, i'll see, that is a problem to resolve later.
Continuing with the build, this is a WIP post for the turret detailing.
First step was to disassemble the turret top for rebuilding and detailing.

The gun sight is complex, with many angles and shapes to worry about. Sho't Kal were converted from many Centurion marks. Depending on the picture, it could be a Mark 3, 5, 7 or 11, coming from various sources, new or used and the turret top show differences. Some have parts missing or removed during the various upgrades which add to the confusion of trying to recreate a standard Sho't Kal Gimel turret top. There is probably not one. The wiper box on top of the sight box is missing on this picture.

The flat base of the sight was raised and enlarged

The gun sight, recreated the best I could mainly from pictures. The sight is so small on the 1/35 model that it was of absolutely no help. This item is very small to scratch build in plasticard even in 1/16 scale.

I'll be adding the fragile wiper and some other gizmos later because they will either be on the way during the build or be lost or damaged during build manipulations.

Next step was the commander's hatch. Pictures of the real thing are non existant and I had to rely on the 1/35 model. The standard Mark 3 hatch needs to be replaced by a raised hatch, surely allowing the commander's head to have a better position when looking through periscopes.
