Awesome project and really nice work so far 👍
About picture 40: They look somewhat like HVAR, or rockets in general.
I could be wrong about that but at least Wikipedia says that the P2J could be armed with rockets under her wings.

That's Incredible!
I'm glad I bothered to buy the Tamiya F4U-1D.
The following video will give you an idea.

Album info
The P-2J is an anti-submarine patrol aircraft developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. in the 1970s to replace the aging P2V-7.
The P-2J has an extended fuselage, a T64 turboprop engine, a larger directional rudder area and spring tabs.
Originally there was a conversion kit available, but I couldn't get it, so I'll do my best as factory manager!
