Awesome! . I was inspired to finish Dandiego’s Vigilante 3D print kit as you and Peter have collaborated. We are at a different skill level (and the Vigilante is no longer for sale), but I still felt the forum “brotherhood” as 3D printed  kits are being pioneered. Congratulations to you both!

And the turret

My example - like the canopy parts - consists of a resin frame with a vacuform transparent piece fitted inside.

 

 

In my example the marked area needs to be trimmed for this part to fit properly.

I don't think that I agree it's that definitive Pete and say so in the instructions - ALL turrets had black frames, but from what I can tell, there were a mixture of all black, a darker green and / or the camo colours..

 

you can see the colour differences in some photo's like these..

 

 

Great job by the way Tolga - there are a bunch of decals in the kit to cover the turret instrumentation & placards

For some reason the kit guns at the left side are lacking the protruding cylinders at the very end. I think these are solenoids, if this ist the proper technical term. The left b/w photo shows very well they were there at the real aircraft, watch just above the crew members hand. The kit is lacking this at the two left guns. Maybe a kind of misprinting or "short shot", if this term applies to 3D printing.

Who knows at what point they disappeared. Doesn't seem like a big loss to me. I'll try to fix it anyway.

Simply fantastic! Bravo to both Peter and Tolga for a beautiful build. I have very much enjoyed following along on this.
