These two "Flying Fortress" examples were enhanced with a tooth wheel done by free hand (because the job is completed in a matter of minutes.)

I also detailed the bomb bay and opened the crew hatch of the OD version. Like most Monogram oldies, these models are spot on with respect to dimensions, but require a lot of work to cover the seams and suffer from mis-alignment of the thick transparent parts and the respective position. 

Also, like in this case, the decals show  their age. Results nonetheless, are well worth the effort not to mention the bargain price for such a large piece of plastic.
