Looks fantastic -I like the contrast of the green/brown with the darker cowlings. Looks just right to my eyes!

    Quite the contrary Guy, you "aced" it on this one! It's merely the "beauty in the eyes of the beholder" phenomena you are experiencing! We are our own worst critics. ;) 8)

Thanks,

Lance - I always say this at the end of a model. It’s just once done I never 100% like them and would happily just chuck them away. The pleasure is in the process...

I am not a fan of open engines on airplanes, unless it is displayed in a diorama where the mechanics are performing maintenance; but, that being written, I like the way this looks.  The open side doesn't take away from the overall complete appearance of the model and the engine work shines through.  I especially am drawn to the subtle staining on the underside and the highlighting of the ailerons on the underside, it turned out great and the mottle affect plays the light nicely.  A real gem Guy.

Thanks Mark,

There’s a photo in the instructions of a Dolphin with that panel removed which gave me the push. It has such a detailed interior that I’m surprised WWs didn’t give it as an option.

Guy,

WOW that is a beautiful model.  I like the finish very much.  The weathering/staining on the underside looks great.  One thing that caught my eye was the structure inside the open engine - the wood effect really pops out.  Great job.

Nice job, good photos. Exposed engine works well.

Cheers
