It's looking the biz.
One small point though - the prop manufacturer's decals are upside down. Name should be at the top (root end) of each blade, with a prop blade vertical towards the tip.

Not quite understanding Terry...

Look at the B&W pic you posted. The Curtiss logo on the prop has a prop blade pointing towards the tip of the prop, with the text for the name at the top of the circular decal, pointing towards the root of the prop blade. Your model has the opposite.
Prop manufacturer's logos - Curtis, Aero Products, Hamilton Standard, Rotol etc, always have the wording 'right reading' when the prop blade is vertical to the ground (i.e, bottom blade pointing down), or, as with Hamilton Standard, for example, when the blade is horizontal to the ground, with the leading edge of the blade uppermost.

Well as life would have IT in the last three hours of this build doing the panels line and went to flip the model over and IT hit the floor broke off the right gear, tail wheel and gunsight.Yep that's my life I can and do fix EVERYTHING for everybody else but when it comes my little measly couple of hours to myself it's not to be had.This on hold till me and the ole Man upstairs come to terms.

6 months of work
