Default Need some help with old Royal Bearcat kit

I finally decided to finish my old Royal Bearcat kit that’s been sitting on the backburner for ages. I plan on using a set of old Rom-Air retracts in this kit, which come with 3/16-inch wire struts. I would like to dress up the wire struts with appropriate Robart strut covers but I’m not sure which strut covers would be best suited for this Bearcat kit? Likewise, since I couldn’t find any information in regards to tires used on the Bearcat I was wondering whether someone could tell me which size tires (main and tail wheel) would be most appropriate for this kit (Scale being: 1:6.85)? Additionally, I was contemplating powering this kit with a 4-cycle twin so that I could route the exhaust out of the scale exhaust locations and I’m curious as to which twin engine, if any, would fit without having to rip apart the cowl?
As always, all help will be greatly appreciated.
