FT Restructuring Phone Interview

Have little experience with fin modelling for Rx but have very good experience with market+legal side of Rx and Bankruptcy filings. I have a strong accounting background and have had a lot of exposure to all types of credit products with a lot of focus on not only origination, but covenants and warrants. I have a phone interview with a top firm and want to know how to best prepare myself. Current knowledge has been focused on making a market for distressed securities my firm is getting rid of or selling to a PE/HF partner, asset sales (363), debt waterfalls, different types of credit agreements, cap structure, and the legal side of Bankruptcy. I have also been exposed to DIP financing, how it is originated, and the legal side of it. Last thing, I have been exposed to several case studies and previous transactions my firm has advised on and understand how debt is converted to equity after bankruptcy filings. My main worry is my lack of fin modelling and would like to ask the WSO gods to help me by commenting any resources, experiences, or bits of knowledge that can help me.
