i know lots of people sneer at the oddball scale 111, but working on my second, i find it to be a pretty fun build. it's easy to scratch stuff for the cockpit, i add bulkheads and better seats and bomb aimer position, better detail after removing the rivets and the engines are getting extra detail. but there is one place of real woe. the machine guns are the same 50 cal looking units in the b-17. side by side they match. anyone suggest variants, or ways to scratch better guns? i also can't tell what model this is supposed to be. h? anyone bashe one into a more realistic ac? suggestions on unusual paint schemes? it really is a fun kit, i have 3 more and was thinking of a kette flying over my bed. too bad there isn't a nightfighter, but this ac surely must have been too slow. well, it might catch a whitley or some early bird, but that would be anachronistic.
