352nd Fighter Group "Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney" Build

[Wurger]

Show me the port side then.

 

[B-17engineer]

sure thing. It fits now but the windscreen overlaps

And just overall shot..

 

[Wurger]

With the windscreen please...

 

[B-17engineer]

Here

 

[Wurger]

OK. But the windscreen isn't set correctly. It should have been pushed a little bit forward right?

Now a close up to the area of the windshield mount without the glassy part from back to front direction. Try to get not blurry shot.

 

[B-17engineer]

Alright heres a couple so you can decided which is the best one

 

[Wurger]

Be very carefull of doing that.

 

[B-17engineer]

Alright so once thats removed what comes next?

 

[Wurger]

Check fitting again.

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay! I have company over so if you want to leave directions or whatever I can take a look when I get back! Thanks so much for your help

 

[Wurger]

No problem Harry. I have to be on duty tomorrow and I'm heading bed then. So I suggest putting the work away for a while. We can continue when I return.

 

[B-17engineer]

Alright should work out perfectly since the Do-17 decals are coming soon and I can work on that. Thanks again for all your help!

 

[Airframes]

Wojtek is a star !

 

[B-17engineer]

I don't know where i'd be without the surgeon general!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yuppers, Heck of a teacher!

 

[Wurger]

Harry could you post three quite close-up pictures of these rear"windows? one for the starboard one and one of the port side glass and from the top of the cockpit. Try to take not too blurry shots, please.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sure I just have to go grab the camera !

 

[B-17engineer]

Here they are!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Harrison, if I may, the rear glass leading edge is not straight. It has a forward curve which protrudes into the next section of canopy and may be taking area away from your canopy door also. See what Wurger thinks, I may be wrong.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yeah I saw it but I didn't want to touch it until Wojtek had given me directions, it may have moved when glued it in...
