.... Well, I dood it !. As you might know, I mucked up my stars and bars on the top left wing. I think I have that covered. Last night I discovered I mucked up the pilots and RO's name on the nose, the TOP half. Is there ANYONE out there that has ZOTS P-38M around ? Maybe someone can make a mask or print one ? I'll pay good money for it. Please let me know. Color me desperate......Harv

Finally an update ! Since weather isn't too good for painting and I'm itching to work on this, I decided to tackle something else. Xmas trees ! I did start scratching some detail on these some time ago, but not real happy. So I cut off the front parts and did some more research on them. Thanks to those here that helped with this , it was a tremendous help to me. I needed a tool to help with this so I made one. A mini "T" square
Got the parts laid out. We all know what they look like
After cutting them out, did a little clean up
Drilled holes for the "hooks". I did have to re do a couple of them
After some thinking, I decided to try lead wire. After inserting, glued from the back, smashed the hook end and bent into shape.
When happy with it, glued in place and here it is
I really need to know from you if this looks OK because I have to make 9 more and its a BIG pain ! I have an idea for the aft end also, but thats after all the fronts are done. So please leave comments. Thanks in advance........Harv

Harvey, I'm not sure what you're asking about so here is a parts diagram to help you 'spit it out' 
To help you visualize, look at the lugs this 3.5 inch rocket had to attach to the launcher:
This is the larger (and more common) 5 inch rocket:
Regards,
