Thanks guys.
Now if you have Not been following the dialog between Wurger and myself in the "help needed" thread I suggest looking at this page, http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/18...tle-help-needed-heavy-hitters-ii-36972-3.html so that you understand why the Code and Serial have changed from my original post to the finished product. Interesting what we can come up with as a group. I owe the accuracy to Wurger, and others. Cheers fellas.

It the gear required installation before the wing assembly Bill, you're better off the way you did it. When I have to put gear legs on early in a build it's a miracle they make it to the end.

So looks like the Nanton museum had the serial correct at R3662.

I can't find anything to make a clear blister with in time for the end of the build, so may have to put that off. I don't know of any blister that could be used from another kit.
I did get the gear in place, although it's very flimsy. Bay center doors are set together, outer doors trimmed and ready. I found another instrument to put in the nose, on the starboard wall at the sill of the glass.
Bout ready to put the fusey together.

You can also make a wooden mold and melt some clear plastic around it with a hair dryer. Terry's explained this somewhere and I did this to replace a busted Spitfire canopy.

But he's right. There's a pile of crap back there that you can see in my pics. Fantastic looking put though Bill and the navigator station looks superb.
