Has anyone completed the 1:18 B-17 nose kit by MPM Productions?
I was wondering if XD figures fit in the gunners stations and cockpit?

I've got one that I will probably never build, I paid a fortune for it on Ebay! I even bought XD figures to man it. I am just starting to realize that I will never have enough time in my life for all the projects I have "planned"...

The fuse nose sells for over $300.
I get beat up from a few and I charge that for a full build.
I read the build a few years ago. It seams to be VERY difficult.
But resin kits are truly more work than injection moulded kits.
