You're missing at least two turrets (nose and dorsal), but apart from that it's cool. :)

Thanks  :)

This version had the turrets removed and modifications to the bomb-bay to allow it to carry the 'Grand Slam' bomb - I guess when you are lifting 22,000lb, you need all the help you can get... ;)

Looks nice, and a bit off-topic question, but in Catch-22, Yossarian flew in what plane? I don't remember it being mentioned in the book

Well, it wouldn't be one of these. ;) I seem to recall there were fighters involved, or possibly B25s, but I can't remember. It's been years since I read the book...

EDIT: Ah, I was right. B25 it was... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yossarian  :nod:

Fair enough, Clave - I wasn't aware the turrets were removed for that version. :)

Ah yes, I got corrected on that pretty damn quickly over on a WW2 forum I belong to - including the yellow edging round the letters and I got told to remove the squadron badge which I had so carefully placed on the nose  :rolleyes:

The guy meant well, but was incredibly picky, so I chose the actual lettering from a picture he posted:

Edit: No link from there  :rolleyes:
