Thanks, all! And thank you, Terry, somewhere back in the memory I knew that the blast tubes were stainless. It will be addressed.
Now, here is a little game for all of you. Can you spot the major "F" up I did, and fixed in this shot?

Looking really great. Well done Paul.

 

[meatloaf109]

Thanks, but you didn't identify the major "F" up!

are the landing gear covers on the wrong way round Paul ?

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far Paul!

 

[meatloaf109]

are the landing gear covers on the wrong way round Paul ?

Yep!
We have a winner!
My screw up, and now it is fixed.
Thanks for playing!

A little bit of the under wing things...
This one is O.O.B., with just a bit of weathering.
Ah, it feels good to do one just so...

 

[N4521U]

That really does look nice Paul, fine job........

Tape!

 

[meatloaf109]

Some weathering...
More to follow.
Just because I told you guys I could weather if I wanted to.
A little chipping, and then some,... DIRT!
That's right, DIRT, Ha!, Ha!, Ha!
There is no stopping me now!, I may just put mud on the tyres! Just try to stop me!!!
Tee-Hee!!! Whoo-Effin' Whoo!!!

Great weathering Paul. She's really looking great!

 

[Rogi]

Mighty fine P-47 there Paul she looks FANTASTIC!!!!

 

[Airframes]

That's looking great Paul. Not sure the 78th ever tried the triple 'Bazooka' tubes though, although I know the 56th did.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Good on ya Paul, knew you could do it!

 

[Crimea_River]

Great dirt Paul!

I haven't had time to check, so I was going with the instruction sheet. Looks cool anyways, and if we get further info on the matter, I'd be happy to snap the buggers off.
As always, historical accuracy is of prime importance to me, and I thank you for anything you can shed on this!

 

[meatloaf109]

Mud and dust. Grease and grime. A ding and a dent just for S&G's, but here she is,...
I still have to clean up the canopy a bit, and add one more wash, (light dust), but basically this will be it.

My thanks to all, and a special shout out to my old friend Bill. "We don't get older, we just get better!"
Stay strong, Old Buffallo, the MIL can't live forever!

That looks great! The weathering is spot on in my opinion.
