Pedrovski Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 work on the mid gunners positions. "F" versions of the B17's had the mid gunners weapon mounted on an internal post, not the window frame as in later versions. Also had a little wooden shelf/step/seat Port and starboard sides almost complete now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It's all gone quiet Pedro. Never mind real life, slam that sucker together for us! lol. I'd like to see some pics of the interior taken through the windows if you can manage it. I reckon it will look superb. (And I need the inspiration!)

Pedrovski Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sorry gentlemen (and ladies) I have to report that a combination of life and mojo departing like the setting sun will almost certainly result in me missing the finishing post with the 'Belle. Thanks for all your comments and encouragement and I will return AND the 'Belle will be finished but not by the witching hour sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 This is a disappointment as I was really enjoying your build. Never mind though, I'll look forward to seeing her in RFI instead. Thanks for the posts that you made, you were a great help to me with my Lanc's interior bits and pieces and gave me lots of ideas.
