Aftermarket Sight / Gunsight for Aircraft Model Kits

Aftermarket gunsights are precision cockpit upgrades designed to replicate the optical aiming devices used by pilots on military aircraft. These components add an important focal detail to the cockpit area and significantly improve realism compared to simplified kit parts.

Aircraft Gunsight Aftermarket Upgrades

Gunsights are small but highly visible elements located directly in the pilot’s line of sight. Their glass reflectors, mounting frames, and optical blocks are often oversimplified or missing entirely in standard kits. Aftermarket gunsight upgrades accurately reproduce these delicate components in scale form.

This category includes reflector gunsights, optical aiming sights, and gunsight assemblies used on fighter and attack aircraft from various historical periods. These upgrades are especially effective on models with open cockpits or clear canopies.

Why Upgrade Gunsights

  • Adds realistic optical detail to the cockpit
  • Improves scale thickness of frames and glass elements
  • Corrects missing or oversimplified kit sights
  • Enhances realism in close-up cockpit views

Aircraft Applications

Aftermarket gunsights in this section are intended for aircraft model kits, particularly military fighters and attack aircraft. These upgrades are suitable for WWII, early jet, and classic aviation subjects.

Related Cockpit Detail Categories

Gunsight upgrades are commonly combined with seats and ejection seats, cockpit upgrades, interior details, and seat belts to create a fully detailed cockpit environment.

Scales, Materials, and Installation

Aftermarket gunsights are typically produced in resin, photo-etched metal, or a combination of both. Due to their small size and fragility, careful handling and precise placement are recommended.
