Of course I meant twin *Lewises*, so that was an error, but I really *did* mean foresight, not them thar natty crosshair in a ring devices. The sight in question is the windvane syle compensating bead sight. Like a weathervane with a vertical bar at one end of the pivoted section and a pair of oddly curved round cornered rectangural plates at the other. The crossbar and bead is easy, but the vane parts need to be identical and about 1/3 the size of a pinhead - and accurately aligned. Boo hoo.

I wish I has thought of trying that >when I did my Strutter . . . Oh well, next time .. . . Bob: Great Minds Think Alike :-) That was all I could come up with. The winner of the recent contest here in the 1/72 Allied category was a Pegasus Strutter. He has the top and bottom surface of the rib painted and the middle clear. You have to look pretty close to notice and it's a beautiful little model.
