Well, I just felt like building the machine guns - so I started with the starboard 20mm cannon on the wing. It's a very small thing tightly wrapped around a brass wire. Not the easiest, but quite satisfying!

Speaking of little jewels, I decided it was time to get the HUD (Heads-Up Display) assembly out of the way. Not that it wasn't fun to build, but it took a LOT of patience.

This is an extraordinary thread.
Is always a pleasure to observe how the Masters work.
This collimator is truly a jewel.....modeling.

Gordon,
It's not a HUD, just optical gun sight, but what you achieved is outstanding!

you're right, it is just an optical gun sight. But, in a way it is the precursor to the HUD. Anyway, thanks.

Every time I see an update I just want to say 'wow!'. I do have a question though - your gun sight is incredibly square / straight for the small size. I know that the Hal kits generally have them as boxes to fold up - I'm assuming this one does too (I don't remember for sure if this is in my collection and all my models are packed up to move). Did you score and fold the piece or cut it completely apart and re-glue it?
