Beautiful work Lance:

As mentioned in the build log, the weathering and staining are most realistic and display the aritist touch.  A very nicely done, truly outstanding model. 
Best wishes to you and yours too Lance this Christmas season.

Best

I' m not sure how you could do much better Lance!  This is an outstanding build of exceptional quality.  I just enjoy looking upon it at length. 

I completely agree - apart from the mistakes that you have pointed out and wish to correct, what else could you improve? Brilliant modelling.

Outstanding model Lance. Congrats.

Cheers

   Thanks for the positive feedback, Guys. Finally catching up after a late return here the 23rd and then the Christmas "frenzy"!
   Haven't done anything at the bench yet with the exception of hours of clean up and organizing, amazing what shows up every time I go through the after-build clean up!
Cheers,
Lance

Lance,

Superb modeling! The weathering, in particular, is exceptionally well done.

Fantastic, mighty fine weathering particularly the underside.

Stunning, I have to admit I am sorely tempted to build one of the  WNW kits, would probably have to sell most of my 1/72 stash to get one though!

Dan and Justin,
   Thanks for your comments. I took it out of the display case last week and readjusted the landing gear which had too much "spring" in it, also re-did the prop to get a better looking hub on it. I didn't have the courage to tackle the misplaced cowling plaque though, it'll probably stay the way it is as a reminder of my carelessness!
Cheers,
Lance
