Were going to change the size of the scope.

Under Transform, hit the s button. Menu circled in red

Now you see the same arrows, only this time with squareheads. Grab the green arrow and start draging it.

This will change the length. The others do the same in height and width.

[FAQ]Kit Bashing New Weapon Scaling

Guess you know the r menu under transform by now. r for rotation. Same rules apply

Go to the right menu and under Select, choose Point.

Now you see little blue dots. Those are called points.

You can select 1 point manually or select a group and click and draging the blue outline box over multiple points which will turn red meaning they been selected.
[FAQ]Kit Bashing New Weapon Pointadjusting

Same basic rules with the right transform menu. S for scaling, R for Rotation, T for Transform

I selected the points at the end right-side of the scope and move the points close to the middle to make the scope decent looking. Circled in fushia.
Move the points with the blue arrow. Circled in cyan.
Using the t options circled in yellow.
Make sure the Global and COG are selected. Circled in red.

It looks like XSI 5.11, but any XSI version can do it. And any versions of XSI should work with Windows vista, i had it before, and hadn't any problems.
