P-40 resto

Well...the P-40 is on its way to completion but still missing one part: the gunsight.
Listed as part of assembly 5500-7 in the Cox parts catalog it once was available but it is not widely spread anymore I guess.
Is there someone who can provide me with photos, measurements or even a spare? Rolling Eyes

Looking good! Is the Camouflage tail original? Here's a newer one for sale on the bay:
For looking at the gunsight:

This guys is selling off a boatload of collector models.

Nice job on the p-40, i love to see the old toys get a second life.
It's gonna be tuff to find the gun sight, I bet you could find a beige spray paint at walmart or home depot that would be close for the (70's) horizontal stab, not full proof, but for display, why not.
