Thanks for the intrest to those that have had any. Haven't gotten much accomplished. I'm still learning to deal with asthma and it SUCKS. I had to pull the radiator exhaust vent as it had gone in wrong and I don't like it after looking at Paul's excellent photos and mine for the P-51 C and D. the vent it pretty thin walled. have to grind it down. this is something PE should be done for.

The landing lights on the A-36 were installed as a dual light configuration on the left wing. The this is a large housing on the wing and the kit left it open with only the clear part for the wing and noting behind it. I cut a small piece of card stock and worked it into the hole so as to be able to depict his better. I'm not much of a surgeon but I'll get it done.

OK so as stated before the A-36 had both landing lights positioned on the right wing. the kit does not depict that but wil a hole in the wing. I filled int the hole and pused in to flat head sewing pins for the head lights.
