ANd I still forgot the glue.
In my case (and as per my wife's understanding) I have too many glues already. Why buying a new one?

Just been dropped off!
They're tiny! Even after watching all those using these Tamiya paints, I didn't really realise how small they are!

Having just started on some new meds, which seem to be taking effect, I'm hoping that I'll get more movement/dexterity in my hands, and I'm due further consultancy and a MRI scan next week to see what can be done for the trapped nerve in my neck, which is causing severe numbness and stiffness in my right hand.
Consequently, I've taken a gamble on being able to get back to the bench at some point, and bought a few bits and pieces for planned future projects.
All 1/48th scale, with the bomb trolleys for a long-stalled Lancaster diorama (and can be used as patterns to scratch-build a couple more trolleys).
The Rob Taurus Spitfire canopy is for use with the old Hobbycraft Spitfire Mk.XIV, whilst the decals and 3D parts are destined for a couple more RAF Mitchell builds.
The 3D printed B-25 entry hatches/ladders are quite nice, but I'm dubious as to the orientation, as the instructions have the front hatch with a side-opening, single-piece inner hatch cover. The B-25D (ex-RAF/RCAF Mitchell II) I inspected at Duxford years ago (It's now in the USA) had the rear hatch with that inner hatch arrangement, and all photos I've seen also had that design.

Looks good, I'm unaware of any side hatches on a B-25 unless maybe a modified VIP bird later in life. I still don't recall any though.

Don, not side hatches.
I meant the underside entry hatches, with the integral, telescopic ladders.
The rear hatch had an internal hatch cover, which was hinged and opened up, and to the right side (starboard) , and was a one-piece cover, normally made with a "corrugated" surface on the underside, and "flat" on the internal side, which formed the floor over the hatch opening in the rear fuselage.
This is (just) visible in one of the photos I took of the ex-RAF/RCAF Mitchell II when it first arrived at The Fighter Collection, Duxford, UK, back in 1988.
The first photo is looking forward, just aft of the rear entry well, with the yellow-painted internal hatch cover shown arrowed, at right.
The second photo is an external view of the same rear entrance hatch, showing the drop-down hatch cover and telescopic ladder, with the arrow indicating the position of the internal hatch cover.
Note that the seats are "modern" additions. At the time, this aircraft was In a fairy dull, weathered, bare metal finish, but was eventually painted in an accurate, authentic RAF scheme as "Grumpy" (with a teeny tiny input from my research), which it still wore when it departed from Duxford, UK, for the US around late August 2009, and I think it still wears the same colours today.
