| Thanks, Brian. Not too hard. Chucked up a 5/16 dowel in the drill press, used a 4 way file and sandpaper. Just to make you feel better, we got about 8" of snow last night and it's starting again. |

Kit uses decals for air intakes. Needed to improve that. Still needs openings. Thinking that one over. |

| Thanks. It will be the standard gloss black. Trim color, if any, will depend on Squadron I choose. There was very little, spinners, maybe a stripe somewhere. |

| Solid wood is really a challenge. Will watch this for sure. Good luck Don. With your experience, I know this will turn out really good. |

| I may own it. I've bought several of these built, on eBay. With time and care taken, these are really impressive models. I have one in 1/48 scale that is really nice. I need to built it, and way too many other models.

| I looked it up. Quite impressive. One of my reference books has a picture of it in the jungle in '89. They are doing a fantastic job. |

Even though the box says P-61c, it's kind of a combination of a,b,and c models. I'm going with the "B", as the "C" never saw combat. |

I've had this laying around for quite a while. Time to do it. IDon't know what happened to the one I did back in the 50's. |
