HK B-25J -double the fun

[Martinnfb]

If I may add a little note regarding the tail-gunners seat. It was a triangular bicycle type.

Thanks Martin! 

That shouldn't be too hard to reshape.

Last update for tonight. I traced the waist turret seat onto sheet styrene and then cut it out. 

At this point, I decided to add the small lever that's visible in one of the pics Martin posted. 

So that's it for tonight. More on the weekend.

Time to take a break from the uh, break. The upper turret for Betty's Dream is pretty much done now.

I then painted the ammo belts for French Kiss.

Compare to to the ones I'm using on Betty's Dream they're a fair bit simpler. Then again, you won't see much of them anyways with the fuselage closed up.

Excellent work! Carl, you should really consider entering this this in the HK Group Build competition.

Ok, here's a question for you guys. 

Some B-25s in the PTO were armed with HVAR rockets under the wing on the rails. French Kiss was one of them so I'd like to mount a set. Any idea on the distance they were mounted from the nacelle?

Thanks,

Carl
