Which brings to mind this to show them,

Hmm. Well, Let's try this from just now, https://www.airliners.net/photo/Buffalo-Airways/Canadair-Conroy-CL-44-O-Guppy/2771412

Found image of this kit in its Revell vintage; in it that hatch should be directly across runner from where the visible one is, the odd shape is at that location in the above image appears to be part 46 the vertical fin cap.

Old school can be a fun school. While manipulating electrons can sure be handy, there is a unique satisfaction which comes from hands-on creation.

Hey, if they can see out the window, you can see in the window ... 😎

Unable to give answer but am going to follow the topic so as to see what answers come.

That is going to look grand after painting. While aftermarket parts are a most welcome thing to have available, there remains a lot of satisfaction, even fulfillment, in scratchbuilding parts.

Good end result. Hmm, have to wonder if I would have realized that. Has been a long time since I've needed or wanted to measure aircraft length for any reason. And it brings to mind that there are several different length measurements for ships; length between uprights, length at waterline, and some I forget right now.

Ahh, so this handsome little 737 was merely a guinea pig for the true gloss white challenge. 🤔😆 Partly because of that gloss white challenge, I ended up not building the B-70 way back when and scrapped it for parts for sci-fi projects.
