Thanks Terry and Vic. On finals now. Prop, pitot tube and gear covers and then paint formation lights. Something I knew about but kept putting off, the antenna. As it comes in the kit, the antenna is mounted ahead off the windscreen. I filled in that hole as my aircraft didn't have it there. Another, possibly American one was mounted aft of the canopy. For some odd reason I kept the antenna and have now removed the square side mounting lug and filed that area to a smaller round shape. I'll drill a hole and mount it at the very end. Love the wheel hubs; the insignia of the 5th Air Force. I mounted the left one offset, just because. What you can't see is the>1mm landing light painted silver and mounted into the corresponding hole on the left wing. Nailed it first attempt as well as the cover

​

On its legs for photo op as the gear still hasn't totally dried
