There was some kind of a jacket that went around the barrels (asbestos to insulate the heat maybe?). Anyway, only the end of the muzzles stuck out of the front. A close up photo I have shows it...

Thank you Hiedi, I very much look forward to seeing it when he is finished.

Thanks all.

You bet Andrew, much more to detail and better documentation. And no, I never did a triplane. I wanted to fill the gaps in WWI aircraft so I stayed away from those that already had...

Thanks boys. I think the typo in my headline must be a Freudian slip, as this model has definitely given me hell more than once trying to get it right.:playful:

This is what the direct CFS2 stock Hellcat replacement livery looks like. It will also have a VF unit markings version. I still have much to finish: the VC, the LODs, the belly drop tank, the wing...
