Have now repositioned the cannon bulges and filled and sanded all of the relevant hatches, holes and lines around this area....

Mmmm....now, do I add the ejection chutes or not..?? ...I really want to....

Make that 4. It would have been the easiest way to install the cannons for this special.

Did the seat belts today, not going to do anything fancy in the pit, this one is more about the external appearance and what you can see...

Nice. Think I might try some of those belts for my 'Emil', when I eventually get to it! Eduard pre-painted I presume ?

Thanks guys... did a bit of thinking and threw this note together (PDF) to justify the ejection chutes....sound reasonable!?

Looks like a sound bit of reasoning to me. It's your model Wayne, you have to look at it more than anyone. Do what makes you feel happy. If you believe the chutes should be there, put them there.

That's a very logical and sound proposal Wayne. I really do think that, due to the wing design compared to the earlier 'Emil', ejection chutes would have been incorporated. It might be wishful thinking, but in the photo of the wing, just inboard and aft of the blister, there is a dark mark which might be the ejection port.
