Thanks for all the compliments, I really appriciate it, I view RCU as my extended friends and family, so yes it means alot to here the comments. The funny thing is the more you try to make something look like something it will never be, the more disappointed you become. The checkers on the main wing were hand cut and individually layed on the wing, the tail I tried the glad press and seal transfer method, worked like a champ! cut my time into 1/10 the time. The cowl has an error on it, the last row of checkers isn't right, but I made it work, then I screwed up the checkers on the tail as well. But then I just sat there saying it's not even close to the true scale plane and it will never be, plus it's a field beater plane. So with that, I decided it was good enough for the life it will live. But now I'm putting the TF P-47 back on the bench to finish that off. I also extended the bench to build the bigger birds I have. So now I looked at my post on which one first, and it looks like the hostetler skybolt won that poll, so it might just have to be built soon, or the vailly FW-190.
