Been spending a lot of time looking for refs....search for an hour...work for 20 minutes...on and on and on!!! Finally, the fuse is ready to be closed up at this point. So far, there is a little disappointment in the pit details. There's quite a bit lacking, that could have been done, quite easily.
Here's that nasty seam running the length of the fuse on both sides. (looks like the gearbays will be similar
)
I used regular old printer paper to cover the panels with the seam and panels with ejector pin marks, Tamiya tape to cover the gaps on the ribbing.
I bit of scratched detail for the rudder controls.(stretched sprue, tape, and wire)
The PE seat harnesses included in the kit are not real good, I used the buckles from them and some strips of Tamiya tape. The side console has no throttle controls, I used bits of aluminum for those.
The instructions would have you put only two ammo cans behind the navigators station, but the kit includes 6, with no mention of where they go, refs told me where to put them, and I had to steal a few from other kits to have enough. Other scratched details include the wing spar(prominent item not included in the kit), hand crank(attached to spar)for the camera door, oxygen mask canisters, first aid kit, a couple misc. bits and pieces on the fuse walls, and flare canisters on the right side fuse wall(brass rod)
