Well, here are some photos of the clear glue on the gun sight... but I think that the flash overwhelmed it...

But it’s too late now for a re shoot since I glued the canopy in place...

It’s good to get this one moving forward again.

Nice work Carlos! Enough of the gunsight was seen to know how it looks. Excellent job! It looks like you're almost ready for paint!

Not quite ready for paint yet. Now I have to add various PE things here and there, and other small details. But the finish line is now coming into sight....

Me too! There is more PE that needs to be added in the wheel wells, plus I need to add some various bumps and such on the airframe, and laslly the splitter vanes in the intakes, now that I will not be handling this as much. So that reduces the likelihood of my fingers bashing those out of place after installation. Plus I came up with a great idea for the pitot tube that is much better than the kit part, or the “flat Stanley” attempt that Eduard came up with that for a replacement in the PE.... really guys, a flat piece to replace a round tube?! All the glitters Eduard PE is not gold... :hmm:
