    Great pic, my friend @lis! It is always touching to see the faces of brave people that were willing to offer their lives for a higher purpose.

    Looks fantastic! I'm curious how about fitting bomb bay to fuselage.

    @lis, thank you, Bernard. Dry fitting shows that the bay fits nicely, I don't have a picture yet but will take one today.

    Nice bay @johnb. Rather annoying bit with the nose on yours @lis. I do tune in now and then but does not leave a comment every time - just once in a while to make sure you guys are up on your toes 🙂

    But seriously - interesting builds, and nice small topic-GB you have going here. Keep'em comin´.

    @lis, did mount the bomb bay to the right half fuselage and the fitting is very well. When dry fitting the left half fuselage, there is no gap between them.

    @johnb Fit looks very good! I back to work with my B-17. Because of holidays work goes slow. I prepare parts for engine assembly. It's nesessary to paint antiglare pannels, and next mask them.
