Its a nice looking twin Ben
To bad it's got some QC issues ,but I'm sure you'll get it adjusted in short order, Wilesco  uses a type of coating on their boilers to keep them looking good longer.

Thanks Bruce! I wonder if this is a "limited edition" or will Wilesco continue to offer it?...I guess it does not matter, I collect "hobby grade" engines so that I CAN modify them without greatly reduce the value, mods are fun for me.

Update:

If I roll the outboard crank pin to precisely 12 oclock the inboard crank pin is at 7 o'clock rather than 6 o'clock (where I think it should be) by my calculations that is about 30 degrees off....this is my FIRST twin...am I correct in thinking the crank pins should be 180 degrees from each other? It's an easy adjustment to correct...
