The larger clamshell turret was inroduced to permit operation of a 20mm cannon but was not fully traversable so the smaller turret was retained.<br /><br />The staggered side blisters were arranged thus to permit the gunners to operate without impediment in the narrow fuselage. Had they been aligned the gunners would have got in each other's way. <br /><br />Regards<br />NickStraggler 脱走兵https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129611267271999294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-68540040607197519482020-11-25T23:52:45.981+00:002020-11-25T23:52:45.981+00:00That is one splendid Nell.

I thought it went together as smoothly as a kit possibly could for a bomber its size when I built it. Hasegawas Japanese twins are all kits to be thankful for.

I have also wondered about the staggered positioning of the port and starboard side gun blisters...could it be part of the same hit them coming and going theory :))<br /><br />RobBaronvonrobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310611176545473607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-36379474920603539112020-11-21T20:40:45.623+00:002020-11-21T20:40:45.623+00:00Very nice work!
