Thanks Bob. I figured that little process out a long time ago when I was working on a limited run kit (before I came here) I really needed to thin down the sides of the fuselage a lot and get it consistent. I have a 1/32 B-25, B-24, and P-61 that I will use this process on with the tail to lighten the back end and reduce the amount of weight that is needed to hold the nose down. It is really quite safe and easy to do if you just take some care and it turns out really nice.Really like who you thin down the panels Paul, everyone leaves exposed panels plastic thick.

Thanks Warren!Whoa, that's some CRAZY work on the gear bays!!!
I finally just sat down today and have gone through and finished getting all this put together for posting. I think that there is a bit more done on the kit than is shown here. Once I get into it fully things will be brought up to current. As there are so many pics this will be a couple of posts. As Warren said, "Some crazy stuff here!" Enjoy!
The only difference between the two sides is the slot to clear the mold line in the kit part. You can see the one in the photo. The other side has the needed relief slot cut on the other side. If you look close you can barely see little spots in the blue part for where the other slot would be.
If anyone is interested in obtaining one of these tools, Esslinger carries 2 sets one is $19 and the other is $29. The difference is the cheaper one has less tool sizes and the expensive one has all the tool sizes. (you really don't need the full set) the cheap one basically is just like mine but has a nice plastic holder.
Here is a link to the cheaper set if you are interested:

Part 2 with the landing gear mods coming right up.

Here is where you get the low down on how to mod and upgrade the main landing gear. Enjoy!
OK, all caught up. (well mostly as I know the tail wheel well has paint in it) (Not happy with that paint either) That will be for another day though. Enjoy!
