There be dirt! Gonna paint the frames on the turret Karl?

Yes I'll be painting them, just sat in place for now

Check your refs first Karl - I can't remember without checking myself, but I think the turret was "frameless", having either overlapped joints in the Perspex, or Perspex strips over the joints.
Quick look found this pic, but I should have some better ones somewhere.

Looks like your correct Terry.

Spent most of yesterday working on this build.

Props painted and dry fitted, nose wheel and bomb sight installed

Package guns painted and fitted

Tail gun position fitted, terrible fit but impossible to work on so living with it as is

Main wheels painted and installed

Signal lamps painted

Good work there Karl.

Lovin' it.

Beauty Karl. I remember that tail section well

Think i am done.

nose wheel doors fitted, nose cone has had .50's installed and attached to model, masking tape has been removed from the canopy after 5 years and props have decalls added and and attached to engines.

only 5days work to finish this kit after a 5 year hiatus and certainly no prize winner but i think this could be my favourite build so far.

Thanks to all for looking in and commenting.

Looking at these pics again, i notice i haven't removed all the masking tape from the small windows on the fuselage and on the rear bomb bay doors.

Will sort that tomorrow

 

[SaparotRob]

Very nice.

Good one Karl, and I was going to mention the masked widows .................

 

[SaparotRob]

I would have thought it belongs there.
