Hello I'm looking for spare generic range finders plastic/metal/resin to equip convert 1:72 minis in WW2 artillery personel equiped with that particular tool. I think that also big range finders could be used in open top vehicles (like M13/40 Command tank or Semovente). One option could be to convert the observer in Hat's WW1 Ottoman Artillery but i really don't like the lying down pose of this figure … Thanks in advance

FAA had a German observer set that featured a large range-finder on a tripod.

Thanks for the info..those sets will be ok for German equipped with scissor range finder….but are they other kind of telescopes always in 1:72 circa suitable also for tankers or more mobile operators any nation/generica similar to this or possibly this bigger one link
