John M Oshust | 10-Mar-10 09:32 | The bomb swing arm is neither Douglas nor Guillows...it is a compromise. The wheel well kit plastic is far from scale an either arm would have blocked the LG wells, preventing the LG from retracting. Note, if the wheels did retract they just clear the compromise design arm frame and look like they could retract. |
JohnG. | 10-Mar-10 10:11 | Nicely done and very intricate. BTW the little silver prop is "Aces" |
John M Oshust | 10-Mar-10 10:53 | JG..Thanks, I am not 100% happy with the compromise design but at least one now can imagine the LG retracting with a bomb installed. A small life compromise...but! |
poppy | 13-Mar-10 07:02 | Great details on L/G and bomb cradle. i like the air scoop. I am assuming this to be in pre-war colors. You are right, the plastic kit bomb was a bitch to build. |
