A little progress, also added lead as this will be a wheels down for a change. Had to find some small pilots, co-pilots would have to be leg-less!

A double America bomber is cool no matter which way you look at it  .
It's gonna be even more impressive sitting on her wheels too.
The question is way can model designers pretty much always get the outsides looking pretty much bang on yet they never seem to get the cockpits even close to correct..they probably think that since you can't really see it so what's the point..oh and cost of course.

I'll try & paint the instruments, none of its glued in yet, I'll need the eye gear the Cleaner/restorer has in Toy Story 2 to do the dials   
(I'ts not going to be competition entry level though....more like hanging from my ceiling level  )

Mate when it comes to painting cockpits I hate every part of it as my electron microscope broke and I've gotta wear glasses 

Remember, the model companies can't build the shell of the model to scale thinness, so they have to cram a cockpit into what space they have & the smaller the scale the worse the problem.

1/48 cockpits are, for the most part, pretty good, though.

Ahhhh yeah I'd forgotten about scale thickness and I'll admit I've seen a heap of amazing 48th cockpits...bigger is better after all 

Congratulations for this new twin-plane!
Even if this is not a twin-boomer but a twin-pod flying wing...  

         WOW!!   great!!

wheels on, (they all rotate, which is nice) ready for canopy masking & more paint..... did my best with interior, not great but with canopy on you'd need a magnifying glass to see most of it... well I would

She looks good on her feet 

The picture of this twin-bomber targetting Manhattan makes me think of the Twin-towers, that would have been able to resist such a threat but not another one

My build is a captured/plans British version so NY would have been safe    (the boxes were just for kit info & to hide the rest of the dining table    )

good!

painted ready for decals and not sure about whether to do weathering & panel lines....
