Thanks yet again, for putting some fresh eyes on this project guys.
I have checked the length of the spinner and it does appear that it is a little elongated, which I have now fixed (and it looks much better now) I'll look at softening some other frontal aspects mentioned, later on.

Absolutely loverly metal finish. I do wish you'd think about making a short tutorial about how you do it.

One minor nitpick. Ds shouldn't have the post for the auxiliary ring sight on the engine cowling above the firewall. It should only appear on some of the early B/Cs and even then it was easily removed if the pilot didn't want it.

STEP HER! STEP HER!
I'm going to be saying that in my sleep until you fix it, much to my wife's distress.

Getting closer to 'my' idea of what finished looks like now.

GFR, perfection in the making!!

Can you give us a little nose-down thrust line on the prop?

Re: Fire up the band, I have actually finished a profile (almost)

I know I may have jumped the gun a little withe the title of this thread but...

I am trying to get the best result that I possibly can, before I can finally put it to bed, and I continue to do revisions on aspects of this profile that I am not entirely happy with. I am currently reworking the shackle, drop tank and the associated plumbing, but I don't have a really good/clear image of this area, esp where the plumbing meets the underside of the wing. I would appreciate it if anybody has said images and can post em here.
