The Korean option of the kit is actually a photoreconnaissance version, not a fighter. So no guns, rockets or bombs. No guns so no gun sight. Need scribing of camera covers. Also there is a DF loop housing on top of the fuselage. Use Quickboost engines with some engine panels open if possible.

The good news is that inspection of photographs of the F7F-3N Tigercats show that they had main wheels with (mostly) a radial thread, not diamond. While the F7F-3P had a diamond thread. So I swapped the CMK radial thread wheels I had for the True Details diamond thread between the two kits.
The bad news is that I noticed on the photographs of F7F-3P that they still had the nose-gun blast tubes. Which I had laboriously removed! I'll have to fix that. Lesson learned (once again): don't trust warbirds!
