I was able to get the helicopter windscreen to work the way you suggested -
thanks!
Instead of the 4x4 dish, though, I used the "Windscreen 5 x 2 x 1 &
2/3": http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=6070
I was able to mount it using SNOT techniques at about a 60 degree angle so that
the "bend" is at the widest point. The overall shape is a hexagon. You'll see
when I post the pics of the finished product...
Another tricky bit was the observation window under the nose. I used the same
type of windscreen, mounted upside-down.
I'm waiting on a BrickBay order (from Australia, so who knows when it'll get
here), and then hopefully I can get to the point where I will feel comfortable
posting pictures.

| Glad to have been a help, I spent some more time on it the other day, but I couldn't find a design that was compact, and worked, glad you found a solution though! Can't wait to see the final product! -Geordan- (...) (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.military)
