Notice from the last picture that the wheel hubs are a different colour. I don't know if that's unique to this a/c, common to any a/c or just a happenstance but it's an interesting detail, the kind I like to add to my models.

Notice that the inside half of the tip tanks have a flat finish, something I noticed Scott missed on his otherwise excellent model.  However it's an easy fix, if so desired.
