Certainly what it looks like from here. Wonder what would happen if fermis ever slowed down & worked on one kit at a time??? It'd probably MELT under the sheer intensity, like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight on ants...

Have to agree with manny on this one.
Manny, you are aware this is fermis we're talking about right? If there were no mustangs on his bench the earth would plummet into the sun.

Just doing my part, to save all of mankind!!!!



All is painted...had the masking peel up some "metal" on the 51 (1/2 the panel under the pit), other than that, all went well! Spraying "color" at a 51D felt...odd...almost wrong!!!

This man speaks the truth!

Decals....





The decal sheet provided three right side checkerboards and one left side...had to cut a right side up for the left...



A little touch up paint needed at the bottom, decals didn't quite fit.
