Looks good brother!

I am just a few steps behind you. I installed a Brilelli 26cc Gas in mine. Robart retracts with struts. I re-engineered the LG mounts to be stronger and moved the angle forward on the struts a couple of degrees to help prevent nose-overs. I am in the process of balancing and looks like it is gonna have to have a little ballast in the nose. I hate doing it but just don't have any other choice. I did all the panel lines on the wing using a three-view drawing and a fine pen. All of my paint chipping was from Testors aluminum acrylic paint. Last, I used charcoal pencil to add in the weathering, gun blast residue, smoke and general wartime dirtiness. I dont have a shot of the belly, but it looks even better. I made my tank removable, but like your functional idea of use for it. How did you get anything in there and closed back up again?
I hear very mixed things about landings, needs flaps, doesn't need flaps, etc. Most say it does just fine WITHOUT them.

Let us know how it goes!

Here are a few pictures of mine.
