Replacement parts came in yesterday. Got the whole tree for three parts.

One of the only issues is the fit of the tail hook. The "T" end is too thick and wide to fit. I filed it down upper and lower and clipped off most of the T fitting.

And the IP in the final stage
 
Left side finished and mating beginning!
Left console

Cockpit form right side. The arrows depict areas I had to sand down as the bottom of the fuselage would not fit together. small gap.

IP finished up

Left console completed

IP in place

Though I did not use, nore would I recommend it as the kit really doesn't need the help. I did use some of thir decals as well as the kit decals.

Fuselage mating and there is a small gap in front of the cockpit.

Not bad and should not be an issue (I hope).....
