Maybe external latch for unlocking porthole to extract wounded from lower compartment? Beautiful result BTW. PaulE

Very nice work indeed Barry

The thing it points to looks like an antenna of some sort, and the panel it’s on has screws or rivets all around, so that sounds unlikely to me, but I don’t know enough about Avengers or US Navy aircraft of the era in general to speculate what it might be then.

Barry,
That's a great build indeed, What is that bar leading down from the back of the starboard wing in the second to last picture?

D'you mean the port wing Scottie? If so, it looks like a "comfort tube" for the rear gunner to me!

Doh yes mate the port wing and yes it could be a comfort tube.

Nicely done Barry. It looks very realistic. I like the fading

I agree , the cockpit setail, as with the rest of the build is very cool. This must take up allot of real estate on the display shelf LOL
