Really good Bob! Looking like an airplane now. 
Those props look really nice and the engine and landing gear fairings are sweet! I especially like those louvers in the engine nacelles.

Those required the lease work, in the casting. :coolio
The landing light has a very prominent ring, maybe a seal on it, I painted black along the inside step and painted the inside chrome. Doesn't shine as I would like it to but I did get the seal showing.
Honestly, work would not be a term I would use on this. Everything fits. The engineering is superb, level of Tamiya in ease of construction. Yes there's some clean up, hardest area to clean up is the leading edge of the wing root, I was unsure of the contours there and it looks a bit rough. Next time I'll have it more clean.
This kit is so nice I've already ordered another, going to do the red one so ya'll can tell I actually painted it.
Should have been German Grey...or Panzer...that would have been more colorful. :solider

Yeah, this one is just so GRAY.
I'm thinking you should have added a touch of Earl Gray, she looks more like Dorian Grey. B)
Oops, I actually thought that was primer!! :tomato
How many of these aircraft did they make? I think I had seen a picture of a green one before.. (or maybe it was red :hmmm )
There were only 5 Warren. Yeah I didn't even opt for the silver one! This specific aircraft started out as the Red one, repainted this Grey and blue scheme then restored back to the Red scheme, that's the color it's sportin' now. Red, green, 2 black ones, and silver, think those were the colors of them.
Puttin' on the stickers tomorrow.
Used Dr Mikes' CA and no fogging at all.

Thanks for the comments guys. Getting really close on this.
I replaced the kit pitot tube with brass. I could just see me breaking the resin one off at some point. I'll have to try and mix my grey again to match. :facepalm
There's some racing stripes to add to the cowls, fix the props in place and apply VERY light wash. You can imagine this aircraft was in a high state of repair and would have been very clean.
Can you see the typewriter in the back seat?
