One is the carb air intake and the other is the intercooler air inlet for the turbocharger, which exhausts out the 4 vents on the top of the wing behind each engine.

Looking sharp! Man PE in 1/27 scares me - heck PE at all scares me. Nice work.

Looks awesome! Once upon a time I did a visible B17, I added Eduard pe to it also, there must be a few hundred pieces of pe that can be put on if a person wants to... Watching for more!

I used to be that way too. After doing a few simple kits with very limited P/E included; I've slowly gotten better and more relaxed about it. The use of Gator Grip Glue from Kenny Loup has also helped me enjoy it better.
