The stock Guillows intake ports are moved back flush with the L.E. like the B-25 B version that Jimmy Doolittle flew over Tokyo.

I love it when a kit finally becomes a plane for the first time. I also love the look of doped tissue over the framework - sometimes I don't want to paint them.

Here's all the parts taped together for a test fit. I had to do some shimming and sanding to get the stab level and the wing / fuse fit was way off. The last P-40 I build fit together perfectly, so I'm going to blame myself, not the kit.

Here you can see all the wood I've taken out of the wing. Despite all this, once I covered (Guillows silkspan) and doped it, the structure was still amazingly stiff.

My Dad and his latest beauty. A rare Guillows B29 model. It really turned out beautifully. A real work of art!
