OK folks - heres the finished beastie - and its not small!! I did debate about weathering it but decided, now its finished I like how it looks......

Marking are for a US Navy Avenger flying off the USS Bunker Hill during the Okinawa campaign. Hence the weapons loadout and the grooved tyres for landing on airstrips as well as carrier decks.
