None yet, I've done a template and a European camo scheme but haven't applied any codes. It got overtaken by other things. So, the world is your lobster if you let me know what you want.
Edit: 'er indoors is going out tonight and there's sod-all on the box, so I might resurrect it and finish a card or two.

Hi all,
what is the size of the base ? Heavy fighter (e.g. Beaufighter/Me 110) or bomber (B.25, He.111) ?

Base size should be heavy fighter.

So, Steve [Guntruck] and I don't agree on the Dorsal Turret firing arc?

While I know it wasn’t 360 degrees I have yet to find anything that actually states what the limit of rotation was, even the rather detailed publication that was written by the guy (name escapes me at present and I am too comfy to wander upstairs and look at the moment :-)) who restored the world’s only airworthy Blenheim.
I’ll alter my card when I find something definitive.

Steve, what you want is here......

From what I can tell the Mk IV turret was 360 degree rotation with either mechanical or (later) electronic cut outs to avoid shooting the tail or pilot. Indications are these were not always 100% effective e.g. 113 Sqn accounts.

After a god but of trawling around, I can say that the internet doesn't agree with itself
No surprise, but it would have been nice.
As near as I can judge, the Mk.IVs had the limited arc turrets, while the Mk.Vs were 360.
Why put a turret with a limited arc on a plane is beyond me, but there you go.
