New Build Sperry A-1A Top Turret Dome

[hang the expense]

Yes there is.We made a form to lay the glass to and we think one mold will do all the sides except the top piece and the front corners.The nose glass mold is finaly finished so I am ready to try a run of new f model nose pieces.

What's the latest on this project, Hang?

[hang the expense]

Mold should be made right after Christmas for the turret plexi and I will get the photos to Dry Martini to post.

Is she completed? What have you been working on lately?

[hang the expense]

Yes, the turret has been finished some time ago.It is down in douglass.Maybe Chuck can post a picture of the finished product.I could not make the plexiglass so Chuck had a go of it and was successful. I am back working on the cockpit turtledeck as well as the Bombay bulkhead parts.

Hang,

Is this turret dome you built a few years back the same one that the Movie Memphis Belle is now sporting? Looks to be same/correct type A-1A for early B-17F.

Also, haven't heard from you on here in forever. What's cookin' in your shop?
