Not quite what Lockheed had in mind but I nicked two struts from a Skyraider and cut them down to replace the missing ones. They'll do imgo.

Looking at the tail markings on the left side view I thought, "Wow, I never knew Poundstretcher had an air force!"
Seriously, though, that is one helluva nice job you've done.
