Thanks guys, working on those joints around the wing....wanted this all finished by the weekend.....not going to happen so setting my sights on painting the following weekend....just gives me the extra time to get everything ready for painting.....
 
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.
 

Yeah, your right, I just didn't give it much thought....and then realized I had more work to do, piece of p!ss to sort out but just chews up more time....
