OK-- I am keeping the exterior shots away until I close her up…but here are more interior shots…and God I hope I get a new digital camera for Christmas [;)]
First up is the front end…showing off the front office where the pilot and copilot are looking for stray Tokyo Express ships…
Behind them is the navigator and radar/radio compartment…I imagine the dimensions are all wrong…but I work with what Monogram gives me, so what can I say The chairs I got from a Luftwaffe BoB personnel set… the table was scratchbuilt-- the top was from the Eduard PSP Base accessories and the legs are toothpicks. And behind that compartment, you can just see the engineer’s station in the tower. Next to the window is a control panel from an old Mustang kit, and a seat suspended on a strut. Not sure if the wheel well should show through…but once things are closed up, it won’t matter Now just to add Lahodney’s quad .50’s to the nose!
Next up is the crew quarters…complete with a comfy tissue and toothpick cot and my favorite pin-up once again…good old Rita
And lastly…the waist area sans blisters for now…and guns and gunners But you can see where one would find relief if needed…or just to provide some extra ordinance for those long overnight flights
The “can” is a top of a pen cap and some spare plastic. Bombs away!! Ewwww…
Pedro… more pics will come once I close things up.
Digger… well-- I can say this…I don’t think I mastered the exterior weathering job like you did though…I tried the salt technique… it’s not too bad, but sure does look beat up [;)] Pics of that to come once I close her up…
Heya Pix… I did credit you for it in another thread [;)] What can I say? I see something that I like and try to adopt it-- that’s what we modelers do LOL I had to make a modification though… nothing against Ms. Grable, but Ms. Hayworth is a redhead [:D]
Heya philp… I found a website that had that very plane…but your pictures provide better angles for the engineer station-- many thanks to you bro~~~
