    Guns look very nice, Bernard (@lis). It is tough to make guns look this good in 1/72, but you have certainly done the job.

    Short vid. I like Vickers guns, the same was in Polish WW2 planes. Stand was very fragile and it cracked off during cutting of from frame. But I nicely glued it and sanded.

    Few problems with glueing adapter for torpedo to bomb bay. I sand it a lot but it don’t fit enaught good for me.

    @johnb I made just all that I can at this stage. In next Beaufort I will glue this piece before painting. Initially, I didn't paste it right away because I wanted to paint the bomb bay nicely and evenly.

    A lot of masking. I used very carefully quick set glue Tamiya to make front glazing togeather as permanently as possible. A little holes I masked by white Micro Kristal klear glue. Clear parts fits quite good.
