Today I did a little more shaping on the gun mount and think I have gotten the shape where I want it. About 2 minutes of rounding on the upper mount and they are done.

I started looking at what to do with the windshield and think I have a plan. There are several variants of the windshield and I think I will choose one with three distinct panels, all of which are slightly rounded. To my eye it just looks the most proper for the plane. A couple templates will be made from card stock to get the shape correct then the final piece will be thin ply.

I re-mounted the pilot figure to check the height of the windshield.
