wanted - images of inside of B-17 top turret

[richcarrick]

Can anyone help?

I have trawled through several great threads on here & have found a lot of useful pics - what I lack are images of all the workings behind the hand controls/firing grip, underneath the gunsight, the feed mechanism for the guns, the motors and gears immediately forward of the hand control, the mounting for the gunsight - essentially the stuff you'd see in front of you if you stood up in the turret.

I have a lot of images of everything else but it's very hard to find pics of this area

I'm scratchbuilding a 1/32 Fort & this is holding me up...I don't really want to have to resort to guesswork...

can anyone help?
