Hi probably a daft question i know theres no such thing, well till now any way
i have had this kit since the beginning of time, original bought it to scavenge parts for another build i haven't started yet either ( a vac formed shack skill base was lower back then)
so i decided the other day to glue it together paint it and call it done never really that simple is it, anyway picture of cockpit the pilot and navigator seats large but the forward gunner and i assume bomb plotting table seats are tiny is this right?
Im not a aircraft builder generally. Any reason for this?
thanks simon

Hi Simon,

The configuration is correct, the bombardier sat on a stool.

Thank you, must have been a very uncomfortable flying in these cramped conditions,

I would like to think he didn’t sit there the whole flight. I would guess he would move there when getting close to the target area.
