P-47 Thunderbolt cockpit modding references and discussion

Question: Will the ring and bead mod be fully functional? It will be great to have a backup sight when the inevitable oil smear completely blocks my view of the reflector sight! Tongue
As far as an alternate cowl view, F4U gets my vote. It's not perfect, but it is an order of magnitude better than the existing P-47 cowl. I never even realized how porked that cowl on the Jug is until tonight.
My poor P-47. Sad


The ring sights are fully functional in the sense that the ring and the bead will sight your target correctly and the ring sight will remain functional after the reflector sight is damaged. I will hold off on the cowl idea for a while, it is certainly not the biggest problem. My issues with the existing cowl are the lack of roundness of course, but I also feel like the cowl flaps are mounted too far forward if memory serves.

Taurus good to hear from you. Are you sure that those screws shouldn't be allen heads? :lol:
