I for one would vote for more weathering as these little Pups were inherently incontinent but I guess this is the beginning of 6453s career.

I have to agree with you, Allan - the more mucky oil stains the better. Although I'm always a bit cautious...perhaps too much  ;) The stains look a lot darker in real life than my photos, since the lighting I use tends to wash them out a bit.
Cheers,
Gary

Lovely looking Stains! I tend to go way overboard.

Thanks Rick!

The modified gun with flash suppressor was a tricky fit under the wing, but there was no way to test fit the thing before all had been assembled. One of the final stages of the build was to add the cables to the upper wing that helped lift the aircraft on board the ship. I tried to get the lines to stand up in their holes while waiting forever for the tiny drops of cyano to set up for the right look. I also took off about 2.5mm from the propeller shaft since the propeller seemed to sit well forward of the cowling compared to where period photos suggested.

What I thought would be a straightforward build fought me all the way, but since I hadn't built a WnW kit in over a year perhaps it did not take long for me to fall out of practice. I'll hopefully get some pics uploaded for the "completed" section soon.
Cheers and thanks for following!

That is another fantastic build from you, Gary. But I would not have expected anything else.
