Thanks, hopefully some of it will be seen

The I way I look at it is that if you are having fun building those details and showing them to us then who cares if they can be seen in the end?

Exactly the way I feel about it

Gotta agree there. 80% of my B-29 innards are now invisible

A lot of this should be visable through the waist windows although you'll have to look close to see it, but there is a lot I'm NOT doing. The bomb bay doors will be closed so that saves me all the work I did there on Booby Trap. Other than the bomb sight nothing can be seen in the nose so that will be left alone too.

Some added detail in the cockpit
The pictures from Whichcraft show a bulkhead right behind the pilots seats that are not in the kit as can be seen by the assembly of only the kit parts in the third picture In the fourth picture I've added the bulkhead made by cutting up the rear bomb bay bulkhead which I will not be using and also making up the radio operator table out of plastic sheet. Other than adding the radio operators seat (stolen from the nose) I won't be adding anything else behind the new bulkhead, but I will definitely be sprucing up the forward cockpit some with various boxes I have made up and can be seen laying about in the fourth picture.

Nice Glenn. The NASM has a 360 degree panorama of the B-24. Let me know if you'd like the link as I'm on My phone ATM.

I did some work on it yesterday after being away for a week
I just could not leave the waist area along so added some internal ribs. Even though it can hardly been seen, I'll know it's there.
Most B-24's had insulation padding covering the cockpit walls so I scratched in some cross hatching to replicate it
More time spent smoothing out the joint between the main fuselage and the nose and restoring panel lines
Closed up the bombardier's side windows and filled the big sinkhole on the left side of the nose. Still have to carve in the 'S' shaped panel ling unique to the B-24H's. The rest of the nose mods will happen after I get the fuselage halves together
