The coin is a Swiss 5 Rappen piece. The size is between 1 and 2 Euro Cents and a bit smaller than a Five Pence coin.

Still under construction, it is not finished yet. The right part of the panel is already corrected and in the right position.

Sometimes I wondering about myself, why I spend a lot of money for new kits, but to be stingy for a Kit specific masking sheet 🙂

The round bulge with the curved glass roof over the Navigators position does not exist on the real Memphis Belle. Also the Kit missing the two MGs in the Nose and also the right front Gunner position. Strange that the box art is correct.

The second Decal option of the kit is “Miss Ouachita”. The “Miss Ouachita” had this round bulge with a flat glass roof but also the two little windows like the Memphis Belle. These are also missing on the Model.

Album info

First the "Memphis Belle" was planned, but during the construction I realized that the kit differs too much from the "Memphis Belle". It was much more suitable for the "Miss Ouachita" of the second decal variant. Since the construction was already advanced, I couldn't do everything accurately anymore.
