Default RE: Engine for Wing P-40b?

Took her out to the field today but didn't put her in the air. With 15-20 mph slight crosswind and an inner ear infection I just didn't have the feel for it today. Final AUW dry after changing engines and adding 6 onces lead in the nose was 5 lb 12 onces. Still not bad considering all the extra detailing I did. Here are some finished pics I took before swapping out the engines. If you look close you might just be able to make out the panel lines. Hope to get another shot at it next week. She turned out so pretty that I want to have the best chance of success as I can.
