    Wow! I just don’t know how to thank You all for the comments!!! Your help is invaluable!!!

    @Cees Broere> Thank You for the informations regarding the turret. As for the undercarriage I’m going to model this but in second phase. First I want to make some aerial shots (that is why the informations regarding the undercarriage covers are so important to me). Next I’ll do couple of images on the ground and next animations (with the undercarriage sequence too – stirling undercarriage was very unusual). I’ve already made a contact with Stirling Project crew. Very helpful!!!
    @682al> Thank You very much for the picture. It is very helpful!
    @TEXANTOMCAT> Thank You. The ‘Speed up on Stirlings’ film must be very interesting 🙂 And “Aircraft of the Fighting Powers” is something I should look at (panel lines are important part of my model). As for the Stirling MKV with horsa 🙂 – Who knows? Stirling past as bomber is most important to me in this moment;)
    @Pondskater> Thank You so much for the references!!! VERY, very helpful!!! Especially the photo of flap area. This is exactly what I wanted to know 🙂
    @DocStirling> Thank You for the photo!!! Excellent!!! I was digging the net for couple of week looking for a photo like this 🙂 Thank You Daniel!
    @RichyD>Thank You for the offer:) Everything I’ve received till now from Stirling Project was very helpful. I want to thank You for this very much. As I wrote above the undercarriage modeling is second phase of my modelling and Your corrections will be invaluable. Thank You for Your will to share with Your knowledge:) I’m very appreciate it!
    @John Aeroclub> Thank You for the photo. It’s very rare to find a good quality stirling photo.

    One more question about FN-50 mid-turret. I have a section drawing of the FN-50 turret that differs from the turret that can be seen these days on Lancasters: http://eu.airliners.net/photos/middle/9/6/7/0882769.jpg. The details in the first one looks just like in FN-5A turret (the arc over gunners head with two curved bindings – marked in attachement – just the frame is different. Which type was used on Stirling MkIII?

    Thank You for the feedback 🙂
    @CSheppardholedi> thank You for the link and corrections of the model. Now I see what You mean. Indeed the profile is wrong, I’m correcting this. As for the wholeness, this is the first stage of modelling, I don’t want to go forward with the details till I collect sufficient documentation of them. Right now I finished modelling of the tail part with rudder and horizontal stabilizers (I’m in the middle of modelling FN20 turret). I’m waiting with cut of flaps and ailerons till I’ll now how the flaps were working in this plane. But I hope the work will go forward with Your corrections 🙂
    @Eddie> Thank You for information
    @Peter> Indeed there are not the fuel tanks panels, but I’m waiting with this when I’ll have corrected wing shape 🙂 But this is very important part of this plane (very characteristic)
    @DocStirling> Thank You for Your help! I sent You PM. I have one more question about flaps. What was happening with the back part of undercarriage cover when flap was pulling out. Was it the same as in Lancasters where this cover was “breaking” and rotating with the flaps? (I hope I’m understood)
    Thank You very much
