Interesting shots. Always good to see the processes that get the warbirds to their airworthy state. Thanks for sharing.

Mental note... Inboard .50BMG does not protrude past the leading edge. Hmmmmm....

Yep. The inboard guns were set further to the rear, to allow the ammunition feed track to reach the receiver.

Absolutely brilliant...I am so pleased they used a couple of my castings too! They sold for below cost price, but I am so pleased. Had I known when They were bidding, they would have had em for free.
Many thanx for posting and thanx to your Dad and the team for creating an absolute beauty.

Geedee and I need to get going on a couple of windscreens. We are having great difficulty with drawings and dimensions. If anyone could help??!
