Hmm I dont think it did have bomb bay doors. If you look at the wicki, it is seen as a bomber but only carried them externally. A good opening of that kit should show some detail in that area I would think, if not a really good book on that aircraft.

It had a bomb bay, the size of which was dependant on whether the aircraft was fitted with a fuselage mounted fuel tank or not.

It could also carry them externally.

edited my post, it had 2 bays, one behind the other. The forward bay could be used for housing a fuel tank depending on the mission requirements.

Oh cool Stokesy, thank you for updating that with actual history! Love to learn about this stuff. That wiki was kindof general in way with no really good pics and stuff.

On the subject of pimpage, I've got some on the way for my Lanc.

Coloured PE for the cockpit, coloured PE seatbelts, and Mondex masks for the canopy, turrets, roundels and squadron codes.

For an easier way, check out BBCode4Flickr on the App Store or at www.bbcode4flickr.com; it’s free. I wrote it a couple of months ago and have been using it ever since. I think a few others are using it also. If you try it, let me know if you have problems.

Good luck!

I muffed this post and missed it for Easter somehow, anyways...a late gift for Adolf

I modified the first post intro to reflect the development of this into a true sig
Paul on the live show has mentioned the Bomber sig and Lee has mentioned the sig twice now in his last two update videos
Thanks guys

A bit like the kid who opens his presents on Christmas morning and breaks them before Mum and Dad are even out of bed!

Notifications seem to be working for me - it picked up your post in the usual way. Perhaps you're been punished for being over-excited?

Post by **smokeriderdon** » Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:49 pm

So, I have the Aries resin exhausts, the Master brass pitot, SAC metal landing gear and Caracal decal sheet for the B-58. I am in a quandary as to whether or not to get the resin cock pit set as it is 58 bucks. If not, I will build it closed as for some unknown reason Monogram decided to ONLY do the front cockpit, and then with a fairly regular ejection seat and NOT the capsule.

The resin set has all three positions, but does require cutting out the two other hatches. AND it has the proper ejection capsules.

If the damn set didnt cost so much, it would be an easy choice.

Also, I only paid 10 bucks for the kit with no box and no decals. We wont get into how much I paid for the Caracal set as it was OOP when I got it. And then they decide to re release it a couple months later. All things together, i am around 100 in this kit.

Wrapping up my 1/32 FA-18C by the 20th. The B-1B and Phantom are already set aside. So the Hustler will be the main focus come May.
