You managed to disguise the seem in the top of the wheel bays very well.I found this an absolute pig to do.Lost most of the detail on mine when I did it.

Well nice Trey. Nice to see that they also came in other that black. A real good paint job on a very challenging build.

Five stars for this one as well.

Thanks for all the positive comments from everyone! Dave you called it correctly I did disguise the seam,used white(elmers over here)glue . I simply diluted it with water and poured it into the upside down boom directly over that area. Trust me the glue did all the work!

It has come up that this airframe may not have had an upper turret. I searched long and hard before starting and could only find an actual picture of the nose art. The other images found ,including the decal sheets and artists renderings showed it having one. My most humble apologies if my representation is inaccurate.

Ian the basic dio lay out will be something along this
