Yes - after going through the refs I posted I was confusing an article on converting the G kit into a D:
"Modeling the Messerschmitt Bf 110D in 1/32 Scale"; Jacues Niot, July
1990. Pages 50-55. How to backdate the Revell 1/32 Bf 110G-4 kit to a Bf 110D from scratch. This is the one that shows how to correct the kit engine nacelles by cutting and reshaping. Includes drawings for reworking engine nacelles, spinners, landing gear, canopy, and dinghy housing.
