    WOW ! I am like Eric, (only I'm not down in Buenos Aires), in that I have completely missed this entry until just now. I'm very happy to see you are working on it again. It's definitely looking very good. Please keep it going my friend.

    I have not had too much time lately for building. Work on our home has kept me from getting in some quality "bench time". Hopefully soon this home project will be completed, so I can get back to regular posting again.

    Onto fixing the rear gunner's compartment, the rear top circular frame half had been broken off, vanishing to eternity, so a suitably formed styrene piece was added, needing some blending/shaping...

    Great work on a really difficult piece, Spiros (@fiveten). That shape must have been tough to capture.

    Thanks my friends @johnb and @gblair! I was scratching my head for some time on how to fix it, resorted to a half 1/48 bomb piece fro the spares box.

    Looking really good Spiros @fiveten. I sure hope you have a set of precut canopy masks!

    A first time for me as well, great work Spiros (@fiveten). You're close to getting it across the finish line now. Hand paint the canopy frames, wow you must have steady hands!

    Thanks so much, my friends @johnb and @clipper! Well, hand painting the transparencies and not using masks is more of a "why changing the habits of a lifetime" case 😄
