I installed the fold-up waist gunner's windows on both sides so the fuselage is now ready to close up.

Joe, Steve---thanks guys and ask and you shall receive. I got the fuselage closed up and everything lined up and the fit is good without any bad gaps. I also installed the nose turret (or lead ballast holder in this case) which will be tarped over later in the build to cover Monogram's #¥$&@y turret seam. I did a test fit of the tail assembly and the weight and balance here will be close but I think it will sit level (even after two more bird egg sinkers upfront). I was surprised at how heavy that tail assembly is. Anyway, time for some seam work.
