Yep, I agree. The modification would take a bit of work. I am moving the red striping so it sits a little higher. There's another Bucker that looks sorta like Bevo's but has the contour of the models turtledeck. The striping came off easily and I will use it as a pattern to cut new ultra-cote ones. May also pull the red squares off the bottom of the wing and re-do them, as they are they are way too small. This stuff is not ultra-cote but some kind of adhesive backed tape like stuff. Dummy engine came in today from Tower, it's gonna work just fine. The one in the kit looks like Ka-Ka!
Happy Flying!
