Very nice build of that model aircraft.
I do not understand the comments about the weathering on the wings of the model. The weathering looks quite similar to the weathering on the wings of the b&w photo of the actual wings.

The four slots behind each engine are air vents for the oil and turbo air coolers, plus they allow venting of the wings if a fuel tank or fuel line is damaged. Basically there is just hot air coming out of them. So whatever exhaust and other dirt would be deflected to the areas surrounding the slots. Here is another photo that illustrates this. The exhaust pattern behind the inboard engine on the left wing shows the effect very well. The area directly behind the slot is kept clear of dirt by the hot air coming out of the slots. I’m still trying to perfect some of these weathering patterns on my models.
Anyways, the model in this thread looks amazing!
