 It's a bomber so the hatch is underneath

Access to inside is the usual method for the bomber variant i.e. from the hatch underneath. Unfortunately as the Forward Fuselage is mounted on a trolley for the time being, some snake genetics in the family are a necessary requirement to get in. After a bit of huffing-and-puffing it is possible to enter the cockpit area and this is where the real authenticity of what David has achieved really impacts. Frankly the interior is just superb. The man-hours, research and craftsmanship that have gone into this part of the project alone are phenomenal. Oh yes, things even turn on. A battery supply squirts enough juice into the cockpit to light her up and even provide power to things like the  bombsight and downward recognition lights etc. If you want to come close to experiencing what it must have felt like for a crew, just try sitting in the cockpit at night with the interior lights on ...and just let the imagination wander.
