@brithebuilder, thanks for bringing that up. It definitely is planned like that but I need to temper my enthusiasm to not accidently glue those wings on.

John @johnb I believe that fabric where the wing guns are is actually tape to cover the barrels and keep the dirt, sand and coral particles etc etc from getting in there and mucking things up. Red tape is also common.

Is it too late to consider instrument decals on your otherwise fine looking cockpit? I hate to use this pun, but that would really dial it in. Open or closed canopy?

@eb801, thanks for clarifying, Eric. I was not really impressed by the IP decal, that's why I did not use it. Still might be possible though. But with the wings folded, it will be difficult to have a good view on the IP. I'm rending towards an open canopy.
@fiveten, thanks you, Spiros.

@eb801, those do look really nice, Eric. Very impressive interior.

Very Nice ! I like it... a LOT. The brake lines are going to give it more realism and look real good.

Any thoughts about the area for the exhausts, to me this area created by Tamiya looks much bigger than what it is supposed to be. On pictures of the real aircraft there seems to be less open area around the exhaust pipes. Or am I wrong.

@fiveten, thanks for the tip, Spiros. The exhausts on your build look much better. The shank of our cotton buds are made of paper, not that useful. Need to check the house for some other tubes.
