That's not a bad idea for some of my smaller u-boat models (of which I have a number yet to be built), but have you seen the diameter of a periscope on a 1/72nd scale model? That's a big needle!
I have the Revell 1/72 sub of course, and I have the needle to make the periscope. Only one though... well it may work for two half-extended scopes. Anyway, I shudder at the thought what a doctor is supposed to do with it (got it from my ex, who is a doctor)
