>Even though there are a whole bunch of things just to love about this one, the best bit for me is the altered exhaust units...for some reason they look so right with this version!.<

Thank you. I like the look, though if I were to do the Aichi 119 over again, I would sink the exhaust shroud into the fuselage a little---I think they are a little too "protrusive", if that's a word.

In the Roden He-111B from which they originated, the exhaust shroud is set into the nacelle a bit and not so prominent---or should I say that the nacelle kind of "envelops" the shroud. I still think it looks cool! If you saw my 1956 Chevy Bel-Air I used to have, you would have noticed a similar exhaust set-up, with a large, flared, angled exhaust tip coming out the side in front of the rear wheel. Must have been "channeling" my old rod when I made this!

To darkmaster, Sisko, Weaver, "Black Eagle" (your name translated?), Ed S, Saur, Sotool, BdB and any others I might have missed---thanks for the nice comments and sticking with this project.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Hey, she's a wicked project, Craig - I can't help but appreciate the work you did on it, both in taming the resin, and in the awesome paintjob.
