That is correct FF. Sorry to hear of all your heath problems, I hope you get back in the saddle soon.
The answer to cowl and windshield question is that I had bought them from ProBuilder. The cowl is one piece, I cut it apart and made it three piece like the full scale.
I experienced a dead stick last year and had to recover the fuselage over the winter, during that time I made modifications to the landing gear, shorten the tabs 13/16" and lengthen the gear struts the same amount. Here are the before and after photos, you be the judge.
I also made the left front window a slider like the full, makes getting to the wing rib bolts so much easier.
