Looks much easier than milling a new set of trunnions, and certainly easier to fine tune. The model will look menacing just sitting there.

Looking good! My big effort today was painting my 2017 AC-GraCar Spitfire stand - not quite up to what you're doing.

Well in order to finish the wheel wells I kind of am in need of a set of blisters. The first attempt was laughable. Didn't take to long at all for them to start melting! Ended up making all the parts that I need to vacuum form out of pine.

Here's a pic that I took while visiting London. Black 6 is one of the very few original 109's left. It's restoration was years long, and the guys who put it back together were very fussy. it was restored to flying condition but is now on display at the RAF Museum in Hendon. The picture is low res, but it does show the gun troughs rather well. Thought you might find it helpful.

Sorry about the image quality. I borrowed the camera and didn't know how to set it to take higher res images.

I'm trying to get the wheel wells finish up so I can get the bottoms of the wings sheeted .
