I don't think the cowl and wheel pants were ever with my kit, it says in the directions that they are not included and are optional equipment. I think this may be a very early version of the kit, the guy that owned the shop accumulated stuff for like 20 years or more, there were well over 300 kits and about 60 assmebled airplanes at the auction with wagon loads of R/C stuff, plastic models, rockets, etc. I did also get a good deal on a radio there, Hitec Prism 7 for $65.
