Thanks Geo.
I just have to get things to fit.
I tend to clutter it up with stuff.

Thanks guys.
Wife is out with her brother, sees him once a year.
So I am getting it on with a gun bay, thanks to a pic from Wurger.
Thinned the edges to look like sheet metal insted of plate.
Building the walls.......

Thanks guys......
Family stayers have left, got a little bench time to give my wife and her bro time alone.
Gun bay!!!!!!!!
But I am bit disappointed in that there is no provision for raised gear legs, in 1/48th.
Bugger if I'm gonna try and swing all them little sticks.
Trouble is you can see into that area from the removed panel at the top.
Guessing I'm gonna have to just bend it all up from the hard landing.
I was thinking it was because the gear just wouldn't come up with the crank........

I like how your process is going, Bill, ... as already mentioned, it seems to be a project with a lot of work and new features.
We will enjoy the construction of your destruction.
I already have my notebook ready.

About to paint the pilot, finally got him squared away.
Ordere some Valejo paints for the interior and exterior of these buggers.
Just outta sorts the last few days, too many med things at once, too many tests.

Done a bit more of the #11 AC that's damaged.
Basic silver on engine, some wiring and fitting.
Bent the prop blades and hinged elevators and rudder.
Trim tabs have to be flipped up if the elevators sag down!!!!

Verry cool. I can't wait to see this one when it's done.
