That's a bummer when your all set on one thing and it's suddenly all change, often get the same treatment. Canopies in any shape or form, painting, cutting or cleaning, not an enviable task, but you look to have done good

 
Next time, give her your creditcard and tell her to go nuts!

Give a woman a credit card and.....are you friggin' crazy Jan....

Here is the forward Canopy Gun, added the strap and cocking handle....can't fit the ring sight and small shroud until its in the canopy....now thats gonna be fun!

Hi Guttorm, saw the pics on your site and reviewed a couple of other images which looked quite dark overall for the guns so went with the overall dark Metal/Grey look....just maybe they were Dark Brown then, which didn't show up, will change it!
The handle is in dark brown it just doesn't appear so in the pic.
 
Great job Wayne. I thought the MG 15 had a metal receiver too, until Mr.G. told me otherwise awhile ago. Of course, the one I had access to was for infantry use, with a butt stock, so there was no need to hold the receiver, whereas the aircraft mounted gun was steadied by placing the left hand on top of and across the receiver - which gets hot! Hence the wooden or bakelite 'sleeve' over the receiver tube.
Two things you never give a woman - a credit card or a weapon!!
 

Very True!

Thanks Guys....and repainted the rear end of the guns Dark Brown....
