Coming on!  That's a big hole it has in the Port side, just aft of the wing?
Is there any information about it in the destructions?
The holes in the side are for clear plastic inserts to cover the different types of aircraft. In this case, the RAF version has small round windows instead of waist guns.
Thanks Andy. So it's a "model" thing, not the real aircraft.

Hello all, back from the dead....
Got the workshop finished, finally. I'm itching to get on with the Lancaster but I thought I would blow the cobwebs off by finishing the B25.
Well its in colour.
Yes its a tail sitter...
Good to be back,
Andy.

Hi Andy,
Looking good mate.
Have you considered some magnets in the nosewheel, to help balance the model?
Put one in the nosewheel, and another in the base position.
It looks like it works on the tinternet'
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

I have my eye on this kit Andy - once I can sneak off to the Hardware Shop without DCOS in tow!  For some reason I never had a Mitchell in my collection and I've always been fascinated by ventral turrets.  Pay day soon!!!
