No, it's not the Zero yet, but the 1/48 Airfix P-51D Mustang, that I started to build January 12th 2021, almost a year ago!

It was 95% ready for months and months and months.. And just stalled when those bits and pieces had to be done.

Next in line, the Zero !

Many thanks Chris, I enjoyed the Airfix P-51D more than I did with Eduards (which was never finished).

I had my challenges with the Airfix kit, but clearly not so serious ones, as I have forgot precisely what they were ! :giggles:

I took the small Vought Kingfisher embryo on my bench and decided to be effective, by adding the main float into the fuselage

As it went easier than I thought, I decided to do one of the wing floats.. Quite fiddle pieces and the fit a little bit this and that.. :hmm:
But long live blu tac!

Thanks Lyle, Mike and Carlos!

Both wing floats in place and preparations for painting has started by masking the canopy. I found a pretty easy and straight forward method to mask the individual canopy frames. Not only easy, but pretty fast as well
