Pete Fleischmann Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Small update that actually took a while to accomplish- I used a keyhole saw from UMM to carefully cut away the oval-shaped battery container from the aft fuselage. I also drilled out the three holes on the aft turtle deck in preparation for detailing these areas. more to follow P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
