HELL yeah this is looking like a 'Stang!! Looking great so far Stuart. Sorry about the fit issues around the windscreen man but know you'll get all that sorted out.

Nice choice of scheme Stuart. The OD/NG P-51D is not common at all. With the 357th FG markings, that will look very nice!

Thanks Gents! I'm glad I stuck with it, it'll be nice to have another 'Stang on the shelf, especially in an unusual scheme.

Thanks Kari,

I filled the wing panel lines in with some PPP over the weekend, and then gave it all a coat of thinned Badger Ultimate Primer to seal it in.

I'm pretty pleased I did it.

Cheers!

Looks good Stuart!

How is the fit of the bubble canopy, I have not removed mine yet from the sprue.

And I have not made up my mind yet regarding the panel canyons of my Airifx P-51.

Very curious to see how your bird looks like when paintwork starts!
