Thanks, Glenn, that is a bit of USAAC (or "F") info that I was not aware of! That is what I love about this site, we all share bits and pieces of knowledge for the greater good.
My thanks to all you guys, and just for S&G's, here is the "Hollywood" side of the jug.

Kind of dig the brown effect on the O.D.
I am pleased with it....

That is nice Paul and your right, this is a good site where we all chip in with snippets of info.

They were trying to avoid the intercooler vents. Later they painted the bar right on the vent door making it look a little strange when the vent was open.

And bl**dy difficult for us modellers, when applying decals !
Looking great Paul.

Here is the "Non" Hollywood side, not as exciting as the other, but every plane has to have two sides...

The Chihuahua is not impressed.

Wise decision about the dog, he would have had you eating out of his bowl......

Bang up job on the checkers man!

 

[Wayne Little]

Beaut job Paul, it looks the biz!
Just one point regarding the gun blast tubes though - they were stainless steel.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That's a nice looking machine Paul, I like the checkerboard wheel hubs. As for the Chihu……..whatsit, it's certainly not impressed, with good reason………………..can't eat it!!
