Engines look OK.

Nice work Dave. I built this one at the beginning of the year in the French markings. Detailed the rear gunners space a bit as it is very sparse. One thing I found trouble with was getting enough nose weight in there. I used deluxe Liquid lead and it went in to any orifice I could get it in to. I just about got it to stay up. Look forward to the reveal.
