Done and with no mistakes that were build ending. I will call out the errors that would certainly lose me points if you could see it in person. Somehow I got the fuselage roundels offset from each other. I'm missing some of the stencil until A4K gets replacements to me. The J under the nose shouldn't be on different colored block, but I didn't have just a letter and close enough. Aside from that, it looks ok, not super happy with the weathering but I had a blast. The radio wire is stretched black plastic sprue, I see I didn't rig it 100% correct, but I'm sure it wouldn't last too long anyway. So glad to get back into this hobby after almost 20 years.

Well done. The majority of the issues you point out are not things that affect judging. The scoring is devoted to quality fit and finish rather than to historical accuracy.
 
Nice one Alan!

I'm now back home, and have the stencils you need. Unfortunately it will be a couple of weeks before I can send them to you, as I am in 14 days self quarantine, having been overseas. If you can drop me your address in a PM, I'll get them out to ya as soon as I can!
