The three guns have been made up and painted in the next picture you can see the lower gun mount position at the rear gunners position. Once the gun was positioned on its pivot point I made a circular pad from plasticard and glued it to the bottom of the gun mount this keeps the gun fixed but also allows it to traverse. The Cockpit was next mounted onto the fuselage side and the bottom glass panel that opens so the lower rear gun can be fired added and then the other half of the fuselage was glued to the first half. Next the molded lacing was added at the rear of the bottom fuselage hiding the joint here and the rear bomb bay deck added with more molded lacing. More soon.

The fuselage and lower wing centre has been undercoated and then sprayed with Tamiya Sea Blue which is more a dark green blue. When dry a couple of coats of gloss varnish will go on as a base for the lozenge camo decals. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Spent most of today getting the lozenge decals placed on the fuselage and lower centre wing. Now to let them dry out overnight and then more decals can be placed on top of them. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

I'm not normally a 'wingy-thing' person but this really looks great.
I'll even be starting on a Sopwith Camel at some stage soon.
I'll be looking here frequently to see how an aircraft is built properly...
