Some good progress, Felix @fxrob

How about this nasty gap in engine?

That will work Bernard (@lis)

Another Find. B-24 J FO-10 with "S" wave fairing near turret. So all FO models has it? Only visible difference between F FO and J FO that I see is pitot tubes lower on fuselage.

Hi, Felix (@fxrob): The turrets on 1/72 scale bombers really add to the complexity of the build, especially when you start masking all of the curved surfaces. These Airfix turrets look very nice compared to some of the older kits. Now comes the fun part: assembling and masking.

@lis, it is still visible. I have been filling it up with Vallejo liquid putty as i have no traditional putty at hand. I will sand it down eventually and leave it as it is. Thankfully it is not on the outer side of an engine nacelle.

I masked the turrets, including the sperry ball turret. Was easier than i expected! Finished painting the inside and out & gave them a matte coat as i will insert the turrets not until the very end. They still need some slight weathering.

Hi Felix (@fxrob): I am really impressed! My masks never stay stuck when I am doing 1/72 turrets. You must have the magic hands. Squadron Hobbies just put the new Airfix 1/72 B-24D on preorder, so now I have one coming when they finally get to the states.
