Lots of great mods here, both aftermarket and custom! Are you going to pre-bend the PE cowl flaps prior to installation?
 
Been working on little things. Started by getting the engines ready for wiring (painted and washed)




Then I did a little more on the cockpit/Nav-BN station.



I had to fill in the hole over the turret and plywood was used for that so I cut a circle out of sheet plastic and then the bomb door control and the ammo boxes were not part of the detail set (go figure) so I had to cut them from the kit and put them in. I added the control yokes and the Dyno motors.

Next I started working on the legs for the Nav and BN seats using brass rod. I first curved the legs and then natched the bottom of one and the top of the bottom legs and super glued them together.



then I started the fire bottle by painting it on the resin sprue and used .20 lead wire for the hose.



Got a lot to do but it's coming along, next I got the strapping to hold the O2 bottles (silver paint, probably never see it.) and as "Tondalayo" was a newer G then "Chowhound" I went to the NMF on the inside.

 
Got the engines done for the most part and the grates in the wings and wings and tail stabs put together. For all the fun the radiator grating was you really can'r see much.

 
Seems I have issues, well everyone knew that anyway right? This this thing is more then a tight fit in here. The seats are being scrunched in by the O2 bottles and ect... not to mention, as has been pointed out several times, you can't see much when it's together.
