I believe it's correct that no USAAF B-24s used the Erco turret, but I could be wrong. It's always been one of the strikes against the Matchbox PB4Y-2 that the Erco turret is too large, and it does kind of look that way. That said, the Matchbox always builds up nicely in all of the samples I've seen. It's on my wishlist.

Leads one to wonder, Bill....is the Falcon Clear-vax Erco turret (in 'set 11 US Navy WWII pt.2') a "corrected" turret? It as well as several other pieces are provided specifically for the MB PB4Y, and the instructions seem to mention the kit nose turret inaccuracy issue.....
