    Exclamation P-38M doubt.........

    Hi everyone,

    It is my first post in this forum. I'm starting a P-38M in 1/48 scale (Hasegawa + Paragon Designs conversion set). I was checking my references and I found in one, that radar operator compartment had no seat. He was seated on the floor with bulletproof plate on his back. That's true? I need to know this because Paragon set includes a seat, so I will need to remove it and detail this comparment



    I hope somebody has this information.

    Thanks in advance,
    Guillermo
