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.
