Cockpit Installed
Wing attached
Unfortunately I broke the gunsight off installing the cockpit and the glass went flying off into oblivion. :bag: Will need to fix it and re-install later....

She is looking gorgeous! I’m sure that you can scratch up new glass for the gunsight easy enough. :wink:

She’s looking great. I’ve had it happen to me before. Thankfully, I had a spare in my aircraft parts bin.

Thanks everyone. No the gunsight is not that big of a deal -- should be an ez fix.

Tough luck on the gunsight. But, given your abilities, I'm sure you will make a most excellent repair! She looks great!
