    The engine looks nice installed, also the paint "filler" is such a great idea, my friend @kalamazoo!

    I recall one of these airplanes being used in place of the Fairey Seafox as the spotter plane launched by HMS Ajax in the movie "Battle of the River Plate," the story of the battle with the Graf Spee. (BTW - for those interested you can find the entire movie over at YouTube - real all-gun warships fighting on film the way they did, and Achilles herself is in the film)
