Privateer nose turret plexiglass

[jamesintucson]

The Pima Air & Space Museum is having a new plexiglass windscreen made for our Privateer's ERCO 250 nose turret. Since we are going to the trouble we wanted to offer the opportunity to anyone else who was interested in one to also have one made. They will be copied from an original and should be a drop in fit for anyone who has one of these turrets. The cost of them will depend on how many are ordered but will be somewhere between $2500 and $4000. Anyone who is interested should contact me by email at jstemm@pimaair.org and I will put you on the list of people to contact.

Have you talked to the Gosshawk folks? They were refurbing one for a customer recently.

Curt, We are working with our Bow turret plexi at this time. We started with a 54" dome that we got from Elkhart In. We can post some pictures if you would like.

We go to various places. Generally we try to find originals if we can. Carl Scholl in Chino has made a few pieces for us. The Privateer turret canopy is being done by a company in Colorado.
