Adding missing details to the inside of the fuselage sides, and building the floor for the rear fuselage floor. There's going to be a lot going on in the rear fuselage, with two flare tubes (with hatches), F-24 camera (with hatch), Aldis sight (for framing vertical photos), Mark VII bomb-sight (with hatch), antenna reel, bomb-aiming instrument panel, bombing control panel, and the TR.11B radio installation.

A bit of work completed over the long weekend (following a short visit to Melbourne's Model Expo on Saturday morning for a quick catch-up with modelling and publishing friends)...

 

With the fuselage frame taped securely to a flat surface (upside down) it was time to attach the floor of the aft fuselage. Some Revell Contacta Professional (?!!) made quick work of this step:

It was then left to dry until this evening when I carefully cut through the sellotape and tested the fit inside the fuselage... looking good!

I still need to add a few more tubes to the fuselage framework, then I can start installing "furnishings" as they called them back in the 40s...

This is looking utterly superb Derek, bravo. I'm excited so see what the next steps are.

 

I bagged a KH T-6 for a song and am eager to fix the gear bays and mounts (to be built as an RNZAF Harvard), so it's neat to see someone doing it.
