I am building the Accurate Miniatures Avenger. I am having a hard time trying to figure out where the gunsight goes. I have several books and they don't show this piece of equipment. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know if this is of any help or if you already have this drawing.

The key is as follows;

111 - Illuminated torpedo sight
112 - Instrument panel shroud
114 - ring and bead gunsight
115 - Gun camera

Hope this is of some use to you.

Mal,
It's called 'Wings of the Navy' by Eric Brown. It's a cracking book about the principle Fleet Air Arm aircraft of WWII with some superb photos in it. If you ask me nice I'll let you borrow it!

Asking nicely, or put another way, if you lend me the book I promise not to tell Roger about you and Cris :-)
