                                        These are tha main areas for the 2mm blind nuts and screws to be installed..I am leaving off
                                         the lower rear portions of the engine cowls because I plan on making them fully operational
                                         with some trick hinges from Robart Mfg. It will be super lite and will work in a scale manor.
