Pretty simplistic kit, not gonna do much to it, but will do a little
Opened up the cowling seams with razor saw

Opened up the flap seams with razor saw and added in brass guns

I dropped a round center pin for the rivet tool that lets you change rivet spacers. It went into some black void in another dimension under my 3d printer table.
Gone. So no rivets.

Lots of crude oil required in the production of these kits, looks like a bargain to me.

Nice build, a bit heavy for the wing surface though. I think we will need a longer runway!
