After receiving a great picture from Louis @lgardner, I tried to make the bomsight look similar.
It was more difficult than expected in 1/72 to make it look like a real one.
Nevertheless, in the picture below the bombsight is placed above the chin turret and to me it looks acceptable.

John, @johnb
It looks magnificent !

Honestly, I don't know how you all can build such tiny details into 1/72 scale, but I'm so glad you do. Working in this small scale makes your work even more impressive.

I'm happy that the photos I shared with you were of some help, and I'm looking forward to your next installment. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more reference photos.

@lgardner, thanks a lot, Louis. Your reference pictures are always of great help.

@johnb Bomb sight looks great!

Today I was worked with glazing of the nose and side gunners windows. I used Clear glue from Tamiya. It's quite strong glue. Right window near glazng not fit perfectly. I hope it will stick.

Great assortment of decals, my friend @lis! Great gift from our friend @johnb! (I have received a similar gift from him, decals for my Eduard Ni-17 which lacked any!).
