Thanks all.
Had the pre-op today, and now confirmed, I'll be having the op on the right eye on Monday.
Not much more to show on the tanker or tractor and ammo trailer just yet, as the final parts will be added when they are ready to be placed on the diorama base. Consequently, these will now be safely stored away until then.
So, the next stage is to start preparation work on the B-24, as there are a few mods to be done before starting the actual construction. These involve blanking-off some windows and opening others, and also opening part of one engine cowling on the port wing, as well as drilling out the landing lamp housings on both wings, and adding the housing for the "passing light" on the port wing.
I haven't heard anything further regarding the Koster turrets kit, but I haven't quite given up hope yet, and I'm about to e-mail Jeff at Rare-Plane Detective, to see if he has any news. The worrying thing is, that there have been reports of Evri couriers here in the UK (formerly Hermes, as they still are elsewhere) passing on undelivered packages to auction houses, after declaring them as returned to sender !
I may have to work with the kit turrets after all, but, just in case, I'll ask Jeff if he has another Koster kit.
Back soon with the first instalment of the B-24 build .....................
