Another great skin, Mus!
A few thoughts:
The metal frame around the bottom of the canopy looks a little light compared to the rest of your natural aluminum.
The checkerboard green may not have been the same overall drab green used on the airframe. I've seen it that way on the modern warbird restoration of Miss Velma, but I tend not to trust those paint schemes too much. I think its more likely they would've used an insignia green as in the profile below. Guppy could probably confirm one way or the other.
The circular surround of the fuselage star insignia should protrude a little more into the invasion stripes. Maybe the top of the stripes need to come up a bit.

Really a great skin though - you are making alot of pony drivers happy.

Save the image below, and in your paint or imaging software, pick the checkerboard color and apply it to your skin..

Cool. If you end up resubmitting it, may want to add the red fuel filler cap just below the rear half of the canopy of the left side of fuselage.

Mus, looking good.
I think you're missing the small vent plate with all the holes drilled in it - lower front left fuselage. Think you got it on the other side though...

I believe that vent cover was for an air filter. The holed cover was often replaced with a solid cover in service. Missing the holes isn't really an issue as there's tons of photos showing it replaced as described.
