Pictures later. So far the plastic is so much better than the Wildcat, but soft like the Goose I just finished. Still a lot of flash. Hope the decals are ok.

Man that's just a big party foul right there Lyle. Pics dude...PICS. lol 
Re: Revell 1/32 P-51D - Smithsonian
Pictures when I feel like it.
Question and/or poll...Flaps are not positionable. Should I cut them out?

Not much done. Just some stuff that can't be ignored.


Some decent molded in detail. I got a sheet of 1/48 cockpit decals today. May use them on this

The rest is some interior green on the fuselage and some flat black on the cockpit sidewalls.

Cockpit

Tamiya tape seat belts. Tamiya paint "buckles" and yes, I reattached the one side that has popped up.

Sure... Cut the flaps out, add a leading edge to them, and drop 'em.

Ok, this is all on Stikpusher now! Mashed up some Miliput. I've only tried it one other time and not much luck. I don't think I kneaded it enough. I hope it adheres to the plastic. It didn't seem to want to stick to the flaps.Stikpusher wrote:Sure... Cut the flaps out, add a leading edge to them, and drop 'em.
