I’m sorry for my delay with build because of my illness. I started work with my Christmas gift. I hope You will enjoy build. I a little rebuild cockpit to fit some figures of crew. Barrels was replaced with brass set or resin in dorsal turret, ball turret and rear position. Fitting guns in ball turret was a little bit complicated because I have to drill turret. For comparison, see the original machine guns from the set

PS. One figure more too:

The montex masks are wrose than Eduard. They don’t stick after painting. I purchase B-17 G Eduard mask to make rest of masking. I decided to use montex masks only on parts that are different in F version. Turrets glazing, rear gunner. Front waist gunner’s Windows.

Montex is also not my favorite brand, sticking of their masks is not optimal, Bernard @lis
Turret painting looks good.
Spiros Pendedekas said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

Turret looks excellent, my friend @lis!

So work going on. I used waist guns from by spare box. All kits guns are very simple and looks bad. Nose waist gun was only in one side so I drilled from another side hole for Browning. I use CMK resin set of M2 MGs. Also tail section was build. But this part neeed putty and sanding:
