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.

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
