Re: 1:350 Enterprise CV6 Finished
Please Jeroen, what are these 2 raised panels: windscreen protection or crash-barriers?
Very nice models you did, congratulations.

Thanks for looking.

As Tracy pointed out, they are referred to as palisades. But yes, they were just wind blocks.

If you watch this video at around the 1:28 point you can see the palisades in use on the Saratoga. They were erected to block the wind in order to prepare a relatively light biplane to be readied for launch then lowered to allow it to launch.
