As you can see from the two picures below there are plenty of areas which require adjustment, but i have to say i was pretty disappointed when i saw how undersized the wing was in relation to the fuse. After thinking about it, the only real way to deal with this would be to build a new wing. this is beyond what i wanted to do with this kit so i will stick with the kit's foam core job.

where i plan to change is the flaps on the wing to the correct split flaps, correct the wingtip shape, and also correct the aileron shape.

I have been working with Lenny at shindin retracts to make a set of "drop-in" retracts for this model and they should be ready in the next few weeks.

for the fuse, i plan to increase the tail area, and build a new rudder, a new canopy, work on the gun blisters forward of the canopy, and if i get really excited, also reduce the size of the blisters on the cowl. The hozi stab will also get a little attention, to reduce it's size to a more scale size.

firstly i removed all the gear out of the model and stripped the covering off the wings and hori stab. came off too easy. then i sanded the paint off the fuse. REAL HARD work!!!!! i couldn't believe how hard is was.... should have used paint stripper

thanks
