They are nicer than the ones you see on this bird for sure. Thats what i get for not waiting. Anyway they are true scale so they are a little larger and you have to make a back plate for them but they would have fit fine.

Best to keep the scale here or on RCSB. Brotherhood seems to be more for parkzones and horizon ARF types. Just saying.

Hi Terry I see you changed the arm on the choke. What kind is it and how long ,and is that a ball connector for a size 40 rod.
I am thinking of putting a ply plate on the wing for the air intakes with glue and screws with the points filed offbecause one of the guys at our field (GRASS ) lost one in flight

that arm is the blue arm that comes in all the hitec servos. i used 256 ball links on the motor. I never toss anything because you never know when you can use it. The chin scoop is put on with west epoxy and chopped fiber glass. Here is a photo of that work before i blended it in to the cowling with ever cote.
