They buckled and cracked so I ripped them off and replaced them with ones made of styrene. The wing tanks are made of balsa.

It occured to me when the kit supplied intake covers started causing problems that they could have been made with styrene..

I was able to use both plastic intake covers. They installed fairly easily, to my surprise, but they are so thin they lost the mold shape when cut out which actually helped their ease in installing. At this point, I feel I own it:-)

THere's a dimple in one of the plastic intake covers so I planned to use 1/32" wood.

This area, bothy top and bottom, are supposed to be covered with a molded plastic part. The molding of the plastic parts is fairly good but they all, except the red nose, are molded in clear plastic. Clear parts make no sense to me.
