Looks great. I like the base too. Id love to build another one of these some day or perhaps the Revell B-25J. One question though about the cowl rings. Where did you find the references for them being painted? When I built mine I couldnt find any conclusive info either way, though I really wanted to paint them in a nice contrasting color liek Yellow or Red. At the time of my build the general concensus was that all 16 of the Raiders or at the very least the lead aircrafts had all been repainted but all the pics I found from on board the Hornet showed them to be quite weathered with some fresh paint applied in places. So I went with the theory that all the unit markings and pilot names were painted over in case the a/c fell into the wrong hands. So I did mine with faded and chipped/worn paint, oil stains, etc. The painted the cowl rings over with un faded olive drab and did some patch work with the same paint along the forward fuselage.
Nice job, best of luck to you in the voting.
