Excellent! Really nice work on the weathering.

Two comments, the white on the prop should only be on the front of the blades as the pilots used to get air sick watching the white or yellow circle while flying.

Also you need a pilot!!!
Thank you for kind words of encouragement, I will order a couple of pilots including one for the [link=http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=629292&page=70#post21807075]P-40 I am painting[/link]

On your other point are you sure? I have some evidence of prop tip paint on the pilot side

I used the century jets ww2 1/7 scale pilot that I painted for my corsair.Iniially the corsairs had both sides of the blades painted but the pilots complained about falling asleep or getting airsick after staring at the prop during flight. That resulted in in the paint being removed from the rear of the blades.. Strictly speaking you are right....
