Good luck with the bay build! How did you find the construction? I can barely remember the build on mine back in the 90s and from what I've been reading on other site, its a bit of a bugger to get together and the decals are a nightmare, which seems to match up with your experience!
I've been searching for the resin gun replacements but there are none to be had, however I did find a discretion of how to use brass tubing to scratch build a replacement, and the brass tubes arrived yesterday, very cheap off eBay, and were put to use almost immediately in my current SEAC Spitfire mk VIII build!Comment

I have to say the build itself went well hardly any filling needed at all, as for the guns in you cut off the end part on the barrel and taper the little bit thats left with some sand paper then fill the grooves it is as close as damn. I tried to get the resin guns as well but they are non existent, I have got the one you have coming in the post and iam bidding on another one too. As they are rare i intend to try to get a few to keep in my stash.... you never know when they will dry up and become non existent.Originally posted by \

I like the look of it so far
Had a quick look to see if there were any drawings or images of the bay on t'interweb, not many of any use there eh?
there's a few "artists impressions" and theoretical drawings on some of the sci-fi sites but i don't suppose they'll be consistent with each other so not much use.
will have another browse on and off when i'm online ...Comment
