I've gotten most of the Cockpit pieces cut out but have run into a snag. Dion must have changed the kit from the time he did the partial instructions as the picture doesn't show the placement of some of the pieces. Maybe someone has a picture of the real thing or maybe of their cockpit construction and could help me out...
Thanks

You are so close! That is the gun sight. Assemble the parts as shown and use the template for the gun sight glass to cut it to the proper shape. Some kits do not have the small rounded pad, I was in such a hurry to make the kits I forgot this part. I thought most people lost interest in this thing, didn't see one thing getting built. Now that I see you trying and someone brought this to my attention, it got my interest going again. You are doing an excellent job, I'll help whenever I can.
The last part before painting is the armor plate that goes behind the rear window, add some balsa to this. That's it, you're ready for painting.
I'll post my painting instructions here later tonight. For those that are wondering, I'm limiting my presence here for just this kind of thing, I feel obligated to my customers. Otherwise, not to much about RCU thrills me, so for now anyway I will only respond to questions about my stuff.
