If it's a -420 which I started with you have to change the trailing edge shape and the flap lines as well. Plus you need a different engine config as most 720s only had one, or two at most, turbo-compressors.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, that's the thing.

Depending on the individual aircraft there can be any number of them from zero to four! The BA freighters had three of them, as did many PanAm -320s but it's a minefield for RW modellers. Of course here in WhiffWorld we can install as many or as few as we like.  ;D

Got on board that P&W 720 once when it came into YYZ, also happened to be one of the rare days I didn't have my camera with me.  :banghead:  Somewhere in my mounds of crap I still have some publicity handouts they gave us.
