Martin 250CE turret dimensions?

If it’s related to Martin 250CE fitted to the Lancaster, the shape of the plexiglass blown dome seems to be different than the domes fitted to B-24s and B-25s. The best examples  of the Lancaster shape left are the turrets on the Ottawa Lancaster and the Calgary Lancaster. The dome on the CWH mid turret is the wrong shape. The original dome has a more pronounced drop on the front.

I have a number of great shots of the turret fittment at  the Victory plant, that I can send along, if you haven’t seen them.

I certainly wouldn’t trust the Monogram examples, as none capture the look of the respective  aircrafts upper turrets let alone the unique shape of the Lancaster Martin turret dome.

Yes, I would very much like to see those shots you refer to. Please send them to [email protected].

I appreciate the info re. shape.

To everyone else, still looking for dimensions. I live in Ottawa but getting access to the top fuselage of the Lanc is impossible.

I will send an email to the Nanton organization.

Thanks
