The long black slat things are ammo feeds from the ammo boxes in the rear fuselage to the rear turret guns.

Thanks Dave. I half guessed. Which was a better one than Ole's. Tut.

I half guessed but wondered as the front turret does not, at least in this model, have these ammo feeds. Also wondered as the turret turned how this could possibly works as a feed.

Thanks all for your comments very nice after all that work.

Excellent work Laurie, I've been quietly watching your cracking build from day one.

As I posted at the start of you thread, the bloke I served my time as a joiner with, was a foreman building these aircraft and he was one of the people who gave up their free time to build the 24hr Wellington.....Something he never got tired of telling anyone who brought WW2 up in conversation, and why not?

Cheers,

Ron
