Ok, Wayne, you slave driver you, 3 station Cockpit, pilot; R/O position; and rear radar operator. The big ugly stick-thingy is a "sighting device" or so say the instructions. The last 200 "B" versions had the 4- .50 machine gun turret restored. Apparently the original designed turret had caused buffeting when used and had been removed. Painted the turret "gloss black" and I like the look so far

Lookin mighty fine Mike............... great progress.

I would suggest using a flash, let the lamp provide light for focusing and I think the pictures will be more in focus.
Camera back a bit more and zoom in and the light will fill lots more.

Just sayin,
Bill
