It's just bugging me and I'll probably find out when the finishing kit gets here. Why does my lower aft skin have the big hole just aft of the left flap - like the hole for an 8A where the step goes?

The newer kits use the same lower aft fuselage skin for both the -8 and the -8A, and the hole for the boarding step is pre-punched. On the -8, this hole ends up inside the flap fairing and isn't visible. I recommend covering it up from the inside with a thin piece of aluminum, however.
Thanks Skylor - exactly what I was wondering about - I didn't think the fairings would cover that far out but I guess the 8A guys have to cut a hole in the fairing.
