P-39 retexturing

[Mangas]

Hello to all.
I'm making full repaint of the textures for P-39 cockpits for FB series of games.
Currently I'm making an armor plate that was installed behind pilots' seat, though I'm trying hard I can't make it look... e-m-m... "armored"
Any suggestions?


Perhaps those guys who make amazing tanks profiles can help?

P.S.: for those who interested, a small movie featuring my new "Aircobra" cockpits during heavy combat:

Got any good photos for us to compare it to? My first thought is that the bevels look rather smooth and obvious on the raised parts.

The P-39 cockpits photos featuring the said armor plate is really rare, so I only have these:
