Did my head in but the series shows you an awful lot about the interior layout etc. Just be aware that I think...he is looking at a later model so things like the pitot and trailing antenna positions might differ J. -
Very interesting video indeed, Chris @chrisballard -
Great job and very informative video, @chrisballard! -
Pleasure, I had to look for them and to be honest I wasn't going to build bombers but I couldn't help itππ. Possibly the hardest was the rads and they are still too big. A friend who really knows about these [β¦]

@johnb Quite a lot of putty but finally all will looks good! -
@chrisballard very nice work!
-
@chrisballard, you did some great corrections on this kit, Chris. Very helpfull.

Sorry, not a WIP but may be of interest. Revel 1:72 B1 special Op Chastise with upkeep mine. The kit needs a lot of work but basically goes together quite nicely...for me anyway as it was basically [β¦]

@luftwaffe-birdman Interesting! Usually in nose there was two 50 cal movable machine guns for bombardier.

Yes Lis, @Lis, the Halpro B-24's had two 50 Caliber machine guns put under the floor of the nose compartment and fired by the Pilot. Not necessarily effective, but it does take away some of the feeling of [β¦] -
