Have removed the wing hard points and filled them in, sanded and rescribed...the early P-61's apparently did not have them!

I couldn't even see what you were referring to at first. Great filling and scribing work... trying to emulate this type of result!
 
Actually the A models did have hard points but only inboard of the engine nacelles. These were for external fuel tanks. The B models added two more hard points increase loiter time aloft.
 
After a lot of mucking about all over the place here is some work on the Port boom, assembled, seams and joins filled and sanded, some extra ribbing in the wheel bay to improve it somewhat and hide a couple of horrible internal join points you just can fill and sand

and some extra stuff added into the air intake so it's not just a hole in the wing...
