Does anyone manufacture after market periscopes for Revell's 1/72 scale U-Boat and Gato class submarines? I just snapped off the top half of the attack periscope on my U-Boat and can't find the piece that broke off.

After Steve Nuttal died, I'm not sure if anyone else does. There was a company listed here that did various scale barrels, and they might do scopes, German, not sure where on this site...will have a look.

Maybe you could snap off the rest and say it's retracted?
