If you mean that long piece on the bottom left in the pic, then that should be a slot I think. On the real thing, it would be a circular opening, with a metal ring around it, part of the rest of the framework, and probably a canvas shroud over the outside, onto the gun barrel, as in the guns on Wayne's Ju88.

 

[B-17engineer]

Hmmmmm how to replicate that??

 

[Wayne Little]

Heat up some plasticard a poke a pointed something! into it to create a cone and cut it to shape....OR create a cone shape from some sprue or the like and drill a hole through it very carefully for the gun barrel as I did..I also did some filing and sanding to create the pattern on the cones....

 

[Airframes]

Or alternatively, put the gun in place, and mould the cone-shaped shroud around it, using Milliput. This can then be 'textured' to represent the folds in the canvas, and will also hold the gun in position.

 

[B-17engineer]

Like the ideas guys! When the time comes will try one of them!

With school starting in 11 days I've been trying to work as much as I can so I'll be in good shape when school comes and grinds modeling to a halt!

So I added thee Bomb aimers seat...

Added radios to the cockpit

Added instrument panel

Landing gear looks big to me but thats the coorect parts and assembly...

Also the tire I have to white wall

 

[Crimea_River]

Great work H but I noticed your rudder pedals are upside down. The rim on one end is for the pilot's heels to rest on.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sh!t

Will fix that, appreciate it Andy!

 

[Wurger]

Anyway looking good.

 

[Airframes]

I agree.

 

[T Bolt]

Man, you've been busy Harrison. Looking good!
