Thanks @John vd Biggelaar and @Lis. I had to modify the standard Hasegawa kit, the "F" model Fort went through several block mods. Blocks are in increments of 5, "My Devotion" was block 50 that incorporated many improvements that were later standard on the "G" model. The first use of the chin turret was on the YB-40, a formation escort gunship that carried extra ammo in the bomb bay and had a second dorsal turret where the radio compartment upper hatch is, and twin waist guns. The YB-40 was a flop because it was too heavy to keep up with the bombers after they dropped their bombs. But the chin turret was a hit and they were rushed to England and retrofitted onto formation leader's planes. Boeing made it standard and changed the plexiglass nose to a bubbled out version that was ugly but it gave the bombardier better visibility to employ the chin turret and the US Army Air Force considered it worthy of a model change to "G"...

Hello Gents,

First of all many thanks for you nice comment @lis, @fiveten, @johnb

Here are my latest progress:
Ball Turret assembly:

Nose assembly:

And radio Navigator position:

For John @johnb, watch out, the ammo box for the waist gunners are not fitting the kit (at least I could not... might be my mistake), I checked out on my previous build the 'Nine O Nine' and it's not the same part, that's why I chose to cut the ammo band nd to keep them disengaged from the gun.
Oh yes the top turret is done as wel but I forgot to take picture of it.
Please don't hesitate to leave your remarks and thanks for passing by.

Really great progress, Yann @yann

Thanks, @Yann. Wait 'til you see my next project...

This group build is really moving along, with some really great looking models.

Bernard (@lis), your build and weathering long very realistic.

David (@davekight), your B-17F looks terrific. Well done.
