    An ounce of prevention...


    Kate features two side fuselage windows, replicated merely as indentations at the kit... I carefully drilled them out, something a lot easier to have been done at earlier stages... anyway, here they are, all ok...

    Good work on the tiny bits and opening the fuselage windows, Spiros @fiveten. I'm just wondering what the use of these windows was. A strange location to put a window there to my opinion.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! The existence of these windows is, indeed, interesting.

    Very nice work on this @fiveten. You convinced me to pull my Hasegawa out of the stash box.

    Things are really coming together, Spiros (@fiveten). Do you plan to use the torpedo? If this plane was one of those that had a visual gear lock indicator that stuck up through the wing, perhaps the mystery windows facilitated checking the indicators?
