A bit more work done on the 1/32 scale Beaufighter maritime strike aircraft observer's station: oxygen bottles, tool locker (top box), cartridge stowage (bottom box), and the rack that holds them. Some of what you see here will change.

Below is the observer's station married to the cockpit. The observer's station floor will be widened later to match the contours of the Revell kit's fuselage halves. As you can see, the cockpit and observer's station together make a very large model, about 25.25 cm (~10 inches) long. Because of its large size and the extraordinary time it will take to 3D print, I regret to report that the model will be relatively expensive. Still much design work to do.

Happy to announce a 100 gallon drop tank for P-47 Thunderbolts in Italy is now available in 1/32 scale and 1/48 scale. Standard metal 75-gallon drop tanks were modified to hold 100 gallons by ground crew. These tanks were used operationally by USAAF and Brazilian forces in Italy during World War Two.
