You'll note the anti-glare panel only shows up in the head on pic. This is because I added it after I put up all the pic's.
It's a plastic thingy that goes in front of the cockpit.

This is not one of my better efforts. Murphy's Law was applied here, in force, and in triplicate.

The mandatory pic's are posted, and one extra where, with a gust of wind, the model became airborne.

Thanks again, Fellas.... I sent a pic of the Tomcat (the one extra pic) to Guillow's Service Dept, in Maine. The Svc. Dept. forwarded the pic's to the Design Dept. This is a copy of what the guy (Mark) at the design dept. sent back.
