Oops sorry Bill

 

[N4521U]

No worries........... I should have noticed the parts in the kit. Woulda been a stupid mistake and ruined the entry...... so it's more of a Thank You I owe.

Have made some progress tho.
C-Pit installed, wheel gear and wheels done.
It's gonna take some doing to fabricate the intakes.
I seem to get myself into these jambs!



And This is the profile of what needs to be added for the intake in the photo in first post!
Not a simple one to do!
