Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

Last night I added what will perhaps be the only scale detail on the plane. In the real plane the windows were non-opening fixed units except for a small wing window on the pilot's side. I used some scrap 1/8 th to install the piller for that wing window. The piller is not as wide as the windshield piller so I cut it by eye for a scale look. With the covering in place over the window opening it is easy to insert the new piece in the opening, attach the cover, and place a drop of CA at the yop and bottom of the new piller. Cut out the windo openings and finish the edges. My window won't open so all that is needed is to attach the window sheet per normal. I think it adds a lot to the overall scale look.
Three shots of the new window, different settings for contrast.
