Years ago my wife would ask me what I wanted for my birthday and Christmas (2 days apart) for her and other relatives that were asking her what I wanted, and I would give her the squadron catalog with kits I wanted highlighted. So come the end of the year I would end up with a whole lot of new kits. This went on for 4 or 5 years and that's how I acquired my large stash of unbuilt kits.
Did a little more work tonight. Drilled out the gun barrels and painted them. I assembled the intake in the lower cowl and attached it, and put on the radiators.
