Also, I love your new sig line!
Thanks Duke! I'm really happy with how it's turning out. And being the A-10 fan that I am the tag line had to be there.

Curious...what are those PE chutes by engine cowls for? I’ve got the same kit as well. I have a bunch of AM stuff on my wish list on Scalehobbyist sight for some time now until I’m ready to do it. Mainly tires an PE.

I'm assuming that they're cooling vents of some sort. They're open like this on the real thing.

Something to do with the superchargers maybe?
Awesome PE work, that's going to look fantastic under paint!

It's hard to get. It was always "out of stock" everywhere. Got lucky and found it in stock and grabbed it.

One is for the carburetor... I think that the other is for the oil cooler
