Here we go......some sorta
record......working 2 weeks in a row!!!!!
Tonight we each had our own little job to
work on. Mine was to locate and layout the bombay doors along with the front
(pilots) door, the center (waist gunners) door and the rear (tail gunners)
door. Sounds quick and easy, but is not so. We took the
measurments from Nine-o-nine last fall. So I had to convert to scale and
draw them on the plane.
Ricks job consisted of nothing but sanding
all night long. There is plenty of sanding to be done.
Gregs was special and had two jobs. First he
had to put some filler pieces on the outboard wing panels. Once that was
done he investigated how to cut the four air vents which are behind each
motor.
As promised last week, we took pictures of
the bottom side of the plane which shows the landing gear down and locked.
If you look real close you can see the outlines for the doors to be cut in
the future.
There is threating weather so we called it a
little early. But we are once again working.
