    @matra, @fiveten, @eb801, started to make 30 bomb bay doors on this 1/72 Wellington as well.

    I was looking into my idea to have a small partly cut at first but it looked like seperating each of them would be more easy.

    Twelve parts are already seperated.

    Cleaning all those pieces after cutting and keep them correctly sorted is the hardest part.

    Quite an extensive job, but the results will be worth it, my friend @johnb!

    @fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros. Indeed more time consuming than I expected.

    First twelve bomb bay doors are atteched to the Wellington.
    Clean-up is still required but it gives a nice presentation already how it would look like with open doors.

    @johnb - you nailed it. Those doors now look just like that reference photo.

    @eb801, thanks a lot, Eric. Still 18 doors to go, but it does indeed look promising.

    @fiveten, thanks, Spiros. At least much more interesting than a closed bomb bay I would say.

    Such an improvement! Adding a ton of interest to the finished plane, no doubt.
