Rick K Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Tail Boom Production's Revi C12/D gunsight is a full resin cast of an actual Revi 12. 32 parts with 5 parts being other substrate, glass, wire and lens. One of my most challenging builds being all resin. Test fit, test fit to the point of redundancy is needed. Lots of drilling, shaping, mount pins/tabs and scratch work. This kit is long out of production. This has been in my stash for almost 8 years. Tail Boom also made Revi16 and Barr Stroud Mk.II gunsights as well as control sticks for Luftwaffe, RAF and Italian aircraft all 1:1 scale. These too are long out of production. Build log here. Des Jägers Schiessfibel translates to The Hunters Shooting Guide. Edited April 7 by Rick K Modelboy, Pfuf, Jim Mason and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
