Hi guys,
I feel a little proud and grateful. I've just finished, say, 98% of the modelling work on the interior. Of the leftover parts, 1% won't ever be modelled (that's the freedom I grant myself) and 1% will most likely be encountered during the upcoming processes.
So, for the moment, the model is 'finished'.
Well, the last things have been done on the interior of the fuselage rear section. I added machine gun posts, ammo drums, some other small stuff and, most interestingly, a 'message gutter'. Apparently, one envisioned the marconist to communicate with the tailgunner using a kind of tube post. I do not have any reference of this in the original manual, nor on photographs (only 11 of the fuselage back interior, most of them in wrecked state). The only reason for me to add this feature, is that I found a drawing in the National Archives of this gutter, complete with suspension and mounting instructions. The gutter ran from just behind the marconist's curtain to the tailgunner.
So, a view to the back, from the marconist's position
View forward, from the tailgunner
Guys, thanks for your attention!
Cheers, Daan
