I am trying to figure out how to model the Cheyenne turret tail gun assembly on Monogram’s 1/48th kit. Is there an aftermarket kit that is available?

Check www.greatmodelswebstore.com they have the Koster conversion that includes the Cheyenne turret.

Meteor Productions is brining out a Chyanne Turret for the 1/48 Monogram kit. But it is Pre Order only now and no release date.

Don’t hold your breath on the Meteor Cheyenne Tail Turrret its been listed for over 1 1/2 years.

The best one I have seen is the Paragon designs conversion.

The Koester conversion is very crude.

The Verlinden has the best Clear window section.

When I build the B-17G with the Cheyenne Tail Turret I will probably use the Verlinden PE for the clear window section and the Paragon Turret.
