It changed around the B-2 production from one to the other. I can't remember which way and I'm stuck in a studio in the middle of nowhere (it encourages us to actually do some work ). I might get a chance to check tomorrow morning.\ said:I'm still unsure as to whether the spent-cartridge bin is a rigid structure or a canvas bag, I've seen it modelled both ways.TTFN

I think it's too late for this build but is there any chance of posting a pic for future ref?The round bag attached to the underside of the gun was replaced by a chute and a large sack positioned under the gun. It was found that the original system made the gun hard to manoeuvre in combat.
The pictures I have of a B-2 show the later system but I don't know at what point the change was made.

I'm away for a couple of weeks at the moment, but the way you describe what you've done sounds right to me.\ said:Cheers guys, the cockpit is almost thereI think it's too late for this build but is there any chance of posting a pic for future ref?
As I understand it then I think I've depicted the system correctly with a large canvas sack (for a B2) supported by a metal internal frame. This would make logical sense as the aires cockpit set for the B2 shows this sack (it's hard to describe it as anything else but it isn't a soft shapeless thing, it is supported by a frame). I've seen some detailed builds of the 1/24 B2 Airfix kit with this arrangement and I'm pretty satisfied I've gone with the right choice, although given the time again I'd probably remodel it to more closely resemble a canvas covered frame.
Thanks for looking into this for me Steve.
