Burt,
Just an excellent diorama of a Jug being refueled. Your NMF looks quite realistic, but for me the checkerboard cowling is the standout feature of the build.

Very nice plane and the setting with the refeul truck brings it to life.
I copy the remark of Joel, that checkerboard is outstanding

Hiya Burt:
That is an excellent job, and a really beautiful jug. But if I could say just one thing? Please consider painting those gun barrels something besides the same polished aluminum as the rest of the plane.
