| The kit had molded copies of the ADF "footballs", but they lacked definition and were too big. I decided to carve some new ones. |

| The kit also needed covers for the aileron linkage. Again, basswood carved and sanded. |

| Proud mom and kids. Eventually she took all but one of the ducklings with her. The leftover was adopted by one of the guys here. His family raised it and it eventually flew off. They called the duck "Cobblepot." |

| We had a population boom at my work. The office is next to a canal that the ducks enjoy. Plenty of room for a nest. One day these little guys showed up. |

| The kit did not have any hard points for missiles and bombs. I had to make them. Sizing was a "guesstimate" based on photos. From back to front you can see how the pieces evolved. Basswood and a hobby knife. I matched the curve of the wing by taping sand paper to the wing and running the piece side by side along it. |

| Cut it apart because I needed the round pipe. I didn't want to buy an 8 foot section of pipe. |
