Been busy this week getting things prepared and discovered I have some more construction work to deal with yet...the rear canopy section needs to be fitted and faired in like Glenn's so no painting until the following weekend now...cutting it fine to the finish now....

Anyway got the front windscreen section in place today after finishing the gunsight assembly...

Looking good Wayne. I think that method of molding is going to turn out to be the best way to deal with the rear windows of a P-40. It scared me at first, but It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and it looks like it turned out pretty good. I'll have to see when I get some paint on it to be sure though.
