Nice start here. Maybe the framework is a little dark but it is a nice wood effect.

To my surprise, after reviewing as many period photos of Scout props I could see no discernable wood lamination effects, no lighter and darker layers, and very much a darker wood effect, so I went for this effect... I may be wrong but what I wanted... the wood colour can only be described as "walnut"...
I agree regarding the prop laminations. I was at Shuttleworth recently and spent a lot of time looking at the original props hung on the walls. Very few British props have strongly contrasted laminations and IMO they would be barely discernible in 1/32.
