Sounds like the start of a joke: "How many sailors does it take to tighten the screws on the roof of turret #1..." I can just imagine four guys carrying over an eight-foot tall screwdriver.

Would love a set of 1/18th scale parts...

In reality I dont think they fixed the rear cooling problem, but in our Luft '46 scenario they did. Ooooh, Brian, is it too late to add some trop additional cooling scoops to rear engine?

Nice work! Interior coming along!

Nice splashy scheme, Don!

You did very well with a kit that is pretty long in the tooth.

Very nice, Chuck!

That's nice, Dave!

When you try your hand at freehand, don't forget to try and keep airbrush as perpendicular to surface as possible. Going from wings to fuselage can be tricky sometimes.

+1, or freehand if you have a good airbrush, properly thin paint, low pressure, tip close to surface for tight edges. Jennings is right, this is how the 1:1 was done, and I am sure there was the occasional ragged edge.

They do look pretty good. I typically hate molded on detail, but they did good job, with good relief. Still hard to paint. My probably over-ambitious plan is to have panels open one side, closed the other. So one side you get a better look at the lines, the other side some detail. I am going to leave the bomb bay and gun deck covers closed.

OMG, that looks good!

You made it look easy!

Can be done.

I thought that quote was from about every women ever...
