I’ve Started my build on the Blackhorse P-40 and I have run into a couple of snags. Installation of the wing servos, aileron and flaps on both wings went smooth. Then I tried to install the gear. No bolts that came with the kit will thread into the blind nuts to fasten the gear to. Besides, the pattern is off by 1/8” being too narrow. When I received my model I mistakenly counted the packets of hardware without actually opening them and visually seeing what was in them. I won’t do that again. The hardware to attach the wheels to the retracts are missing along with the gun barrels for the wings. Frustrating, and trips to hardware stores to match the blind nuts has proved to be a challenge as no one can match what is in the wing. I’m thinking of re-threading them to fit. I have begun turning a new spinner on my lathe using tight grained cherry. So far so good.
