Thanks for ALL that.
Did two things; made me see the "over under" guns on the starboard side of the nose in my first picture.
So now I realize I was looking for something that did not exist.
I can proceed, with your help.
Cheers.

Meanwhile I did some detail on the entry stairs and will add a floor up the fuselage.
The hatch opening will be cut when the floor is attached.
