What a bunch of busy bunnies you lot are!

Great work Steve! I've been looking forward to this one since before MAW was released, glad to see it coming together.

Tom, is that your Tempest pit? Looks good! Do you know if it will be able to replace our Tempest V pit? I assume there wouldn't be a huge difference between the II and the V.
 
Well, there are some differences since the Tempest II is air-cooled and the V liquid-cooled, plus the V had slightly earlier instrumentation and an ordinary gunsight instead of the II's gyro sight (later models). But I haven't tried the VC in a Tempest V, might be an idea..!
 
Added a couple of brownings to the dorsal turret

I can't wait to give her a Good flight(wrecking)..
Many Thanks..
 
Looking good! Those gunner's stations are always a nice treat. On the question of turrets, was the ventral gun under the nose on the MkIV a turret as well, or remotely operated? Can't imagine how it could have been operated directly, but this would be kind of early for remotely operated guns too?

it was directly operated with a periscope and a handle. pretty hard to operate and often left off the aircraft since Blenheims were mostly used on low level attacks.
