Interesting so far! I see they molded the floor correctly and the bottom of the wing and wheelwells will be seen.

I forget to say- I work sample machine from 975 IAP, Kuban, summer 1943. Few pilots flew on it and it is interesting to have replaced some parts of airframe (windshield from trainer version as well rudder from other plane). It also have peel of paint, somewhere will be visible bar metal and somewhere wood primer.

And now... windshield is from trainer version and it differ much from fighter version. So I have to make it and there I will use my experience from time when I work as composite structure craftsman. First at all- tape over the surface. it is use to divide epoxy filler from surface but in same time to match its contour. I use filler as you see, reason is that it is only I have, in the moment I have no idea which one is best suitable for that purpose.
