I have a few Ordinance questions on my Hun, but first, some progress pics.
Comparison between the kit wheels and ones from Aires:
The kit wheels are a bit oversized, and the detail in the aires wheels and tread is worth it:
I've been busy correcting a few mistakes in the kit. I started with moving the arresting gear bracket to the port side, by cutting it off and making a new one with sprue. Trumpeter had it where my tweezer's is pointing:
Should look like this:

I added details based off the AMS Resin parts and some photos:
I used some brass tube to make the roll cage like thing and some sprue strip and spare parts for the round looking parts, then trimmed it to fit inside the canopy. I also assembled the pe canopy rails and locks from the Aires set:
Here's how its meant to fit in the canopy and on the airplane:
The last part to make is the canopy retraction cylinder. I finally found a pic that shows where this goes.
