Hello,

Decals done !!! Here is the third: Johnson's mount

We are between late February and early March 1944: I didn't forget to put the four little swastikas under this funny nose art (only on the port side)

Hello,

Some work: Johnson's gunsight done


I noticed that there is no visible antenna mast on johnson's mount, it seems she wore an whip antenna, any opinion ?

Great sight Steph. Sorry I have no info on the antenna.

Hello,

I think the answer is here: Terry infos.
But I noticed that Mahurin's mount wore the same whip antenna on the photos dated late 1943, but we can see an antenna mast on the photos dated early 1944.
All the photos where we can see a whip antenna on the Johnson's mount are dated from late 1943, I assume there was the same modification early 1944 on his mount too. So, my model will wear an antenna mast
