Check your aileron trim tabs.  You should only have one.  I don't have my book to verify, but I believe it should only be on the right aileron.  Also, the shading at the Rudder should only exist behind the hinge line.  The skin is flat up to the joint on the rear edge of the verticle stab.  The rudder is what is rounded off, and should be the only part that's shaded.  Last, it looks like you're missing your aileron attach points on the right aileron upper surface.

I doubled checked some pictures, pretty sure the trim tab is on the left aileron.

Thanks, I'll have a talk with the QA guy.  ;)

Ok.  Like I said, I couldn't remember if it was left or right, but if you only have one, your're good.

Would still love to see a 62nd grey/green bird.

Perhaps I should have put an explanation in my caption?  Tom Smith named his P-47 for his future wife Elizabeth (Lib).  "Ole Miss" is the nickname for the University of Mississippi where they met.  The photo above shows "Lib" sitting on the steps at "Ole Miss".  Hope this helps answer you question. :salute
