Even though in my painting I'll be showing the other side of the plane, I really liked this back lit view. It's also the best view of the chin gun sight hanging from the ceiling. And even then it's hard to tell what you're looking at.

This is probably a lot closer to what might be seen in a finished painting. The chin turret sight gets lost in the glare, just like in every war-time photo I found of a B-17 nose.

Slightly closer view of the interior. The Norden Bombsight itself turned out ok I think, but the stabilizer section is a little dodgy.

I especially like the little round window in the plexi so the bombardier can reach out and clean the glass in front of the sight. Also the refraction of the thicker plexi reinforcment on either side of the sight glass.

Obviously not something I'd use for this painting, but I wanted to see how it compared to the many photos I have taken from a similar angle.

Note the complete lack of instrumentation on the left side and the forground MG's ammo chute just ends behind the ammo box. Since this stuff couldn't be seen from the outside...

The left MG's ammo chute is a bit 'loopy' looking after it passes behind the Norden sight on it's way to the gun, so I'll probably be re-visiting that sometime.
