Dave yes its for my friend his Father was the co-pilot,and thanks!
Ian,Tony,Ron Thank you very much!
Derek I've seen your skills at work it would take a better Man than me to shame you
thanks for the high regards all the same Sir!
Martin thank you and Connor says thanks again as well! He is totally absorbed in the HMS Belfast at the moment. The little guy is really eating into that Battleship,so appreciate the gift Sir!
Joe thanks and yes really looking forward to sealing this up! A real ugly possibility may prevent that though! Still trying to figure out wether the waist gun positions were staggered on this airframe. It was'nt built by Boieng it was a Douglas build and its making it difficult to verify the details and the serial numbers do'nt help much. So the waist guns could have been either,its driving me nuts!
The next issue was dealing with the nose turret. The resin parts deal away with the kit mount and solid floor which was innacurate. I needed to scratch the support assembly and attachment point from styrene tube and square stock. A pretty straight forward affair and was fairly easy to align using the top hole on the chin turret as a guide for placement
gave a basic wash to the navigators station,once buttoned up most of this area will be entombed and not seen
Opened the Verlinden upgrade set and wow lots more resin goodies to add!
Another test fit of the fuse and all still fits well
Lots more to come stay tuned
