They may want to black out that logo at the center of the control stick...always tricky with company names.

Oh well! Il-2 comes to its end! As long as there is no B17 flyable, its not finished... but now...

We need D, E, and F versions!

by this moment, pilot cockpit in very good condition... not very close to final, but work slowly goes forward.
i dont know what Messer want to do, have he enough strenght for made other position ( gunners and navigator) or not... but pilot cockpit he want finish and send to DT... if they can take only one position in the plane...

BTW i saw sketches tail gunner position...

may be some way B17 will come in to a Game!)

Yes the Ball turret is the same A-3 Sperry Turret for the B24 and B17. The supports is different as is the gunners aiming hand hold. There are also small differences in the inside which could be edited to reflect a proper A3 used in the B17G.

As I was looking trough wiki, the D is a good point to start. Cause isnt the C and E possible out of the D, without large rework?!

All what is different, are the engines and the Ball turret is missing in the other versions?

The D had also two different ball turrets, one from Bendix and the later one from sperry
