Hello Kevin:
One of my all time Favorite models, and one of the first I built when I got back into modeling WWI although I did the Glencoe/Aurora release. Yours looks great, as Bo mentioned, we are all learning and the folks on this and other forums are very helpful and you can learn a lot by going through the build logs. You did a good job on this model and as Bo said, keep em coming and hone your craft. I use Tamiya acrylics and Windsor Newton oils as well. It is always an experiment with wood grain. Good luck and enjoy.
Best
Mark
