She looks pretty darn good in my eyes Ernie, the overall finish is excellent and the underside weathering is not overdone at all, the rotary engines threw a lot of oil and fuel out. Congratulations Ernie on a superb build.

A real keeper, Ernie!
Very well done - and don't worry about the dirty underside. From some old photos I've seen you've barely touched her  ;)

Congrats on a lovely build.

Ernie - fantastic job bloke. It's been a treat to follow along, and your style of blogging makes for very accessible and warm reading.
Thoroughly enjoyable and has continued to inspire my own Pup build, which if you want to be worried about an overly dirty bottom? - You should check out!!  :o

Way-to-go ... as they say.

Very nice Pup, Ernie. I liked to read this topic of yours. With additional tips and tricks. Just reminds me that I have a Pup lying in my stash for a number of years to become an LVA interned version.

regards,
Ivo

Beautifully done Ernie! I really like the shading that brings out the fuselage frame and certainly agree with Bud about the "dirtying up" of the underside.
A model to be proud of and a nice showcase of your modelling skills!

Ernie,
Absolutely beautiful finish to your build,( and I mean that in Multiple ways!) Your weathering is excellent as is the rigging, engine and construction! IMHO, A Top Notch build!

The build was very enjoyable and while I am certainly not in the league of most here, I am happy with it.

Well heck Ernie, you sure have me beat when it comes to ability! Your Pup is simply superb. Well done my friend!

Cheers,

Chris

Dear Ernie,

I'm so glad I was back in time to stand on the finish of this beautiful build. Seeing this lovely "Betty" would make anyone wanting to start it. You did a fantastic build all the way dear Ernie, without any mishaps. I specially admire the color of the cowling which is so convincing and the propeller is stunning. You don't have to be afraid to start any difficult rigging. You master it completely. Many congratulations my friend!

Kind regards
Patrick
