Assume you won't forget the single-fin Navy version Privateer.
Maybe interesting: Privateer was also used with civil markings as a water-bomber in a very attractive metalic/orange colour scheme.

I am afraid that in this turn I could not be able to make Privateer, no matter that I really love this plane. But in some future I would like to make also this plane as well to get Matchbox kit and make conversions with guided bombs which US used on Pacific. You are right- this machine have very interesting schemes :)

Have you note how the surface and overal look of the belly turret look somehow like the cruisers defense turrets from Star war's?

Yes! Absolutely! They borrowed essential design.
I remmember one old film (don't know the name now) about WWII - it was about bombers and there were many scenes of turret gunners. especially bottom one. Man, it was dangerous there. A guy was rotating and shooting so quick - such an adrenaline. Usually, these guys had to be short, to manage to enter the turret. Incredible and heavy task, I tell you.

You did those turrets superb! :-ok
