I bought this plane a couple of years ago from a builder and flyer that was up in age wasn't going to be flying anymore. So while I was flying it the pilot he had in it bailed out and never saw him again. so I search the internet for some one suitable to replace him and found "Aces of Iron" company made one that I was looking for. So now the plane had a pilot and bombardier/navigator/photographer/gunner. So I had ordered 2 of them, but since they were identical I decided to make things a little different so I modified ones head. I carefully cut the head and glued and epoxied it in a different position. inside the body I reinforced it with some chopped glass mixed with epoxy. Filling wasn't necessary as the epoxy did the trick. then I started painting and I'm no Rembrandt so I used a published guide given by Aces of Iron on their web site and a few "MAN" articles like the one from "Best Pilots". since I have a back ground in plastic models I had a selection of paints and brushes already to go. below are a series of photos and I tried to put them in the best order or sequence I could and at the end I rebalanced the plane so I would kill the new crew on there first mission together.
