Gunsight Lens Missing in F4U-1

Waffle,

You ever gonna put the lense in the N-3A gunsight in the F4U-1? Or at least place a tiny message on it that reads:

You just had to look!

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

My bad. Here are pictures to demonstrate the problem.

F4U-1 N-3B gunsight is missing a projector lense. Only a flat black plate in the top of the gunsight body.



P39D N-2C reflector gunsight with light blue projector lense in the top of the gunsight body.

Convert it to a 512x512 8bit (.bmp) make sure you have a (same name.mil) file with 256 in it.

Main ring 100Mil
Second ring 50Mil
