While I was making final checks before painting, I noticed that the No. 4 engine had a damaged oil cooler inlet scoop. What to do? Once again, I took a piece of scrap plastic from the starboard wheel sponson off the HC-130H kit, placed it in a hand vice and started going to it laterally with a round rasp/file. The piece had a curve molded to it, I just want to thin the plastic to scale thickness.
