Another part this time a ranger finder, the thin parts are less than a human hair, taken 5 hours.

 

[Jock]

It is actually a Pom Pom gun director.

 

[Jock]

Started to assemble the Pom Poms, there are 6 of them with over 60 parts each. The hardest part is keeping everything squared.

To get some relief from the Pom Pom I started on the aircraft while searching for information I found this video on the launch and recover of a Walrus it showed great detail.
