I can't believe Boeing didn't stagger the waist gunner positions until the G model Flying Fortress. Had to have been awkward to be on top of the other gunner.

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hi Mate. Yes both gunners had to bump and squeeze with each other during action. Often they'd slam their bodies against each other. Yes until the G version came.

[@TheRealJimmyP]

Fabulous build. Thank you!

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Hello mate. Thank you so much.

[@oliverkalinocka3280]

Amazing build. Very nice detail. Kind of funny that its called 12 o'clock high, but the target looks about 5 o'clock low

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Agree

[@jenningsrozzell7557]

"12 O'Clock High" was a 1949 movie with Gregory Peck as BG Frank Savage. The movie is noted for being the first to use actual combat footage used in the film. Nominated for several awards.

@@jenningsrozzell7557 Love that movie. I am a Gregory Peck Fan.

Great job as usual, not sure about the AI voice.

[@IvanTheTerrible911]

Thanks mate. I wanted to veer off from my own voice. Seems the diction and intonation of Brian would send a clear explanation.

Won't you take that ride on Heavy Metal? It's the only way that you can travel down that road. Satisfied on Heavy Metal Metal. Baby, won't you ride it until it explodes.

the fuselage is not that big, the guys look the size of kids.
