Looks great so far!

Question: Does the landing gear have to be installed before this point on this kit?

That's some really incredible work!! Very nice!

No, I just installed them to give it something to stand on for painting the NMF. They can be attached normally at the end if you wish.

Magnificent Work Kent! This will be one stunning bird when it is done.

Thanks for that information Kent. Not that I need another 1/48 D Mustang in my stash, but if they do come out with the early variant with the non filet tail, which I do not yet have, and the kit appears to be engineered for just such a possibile future release...

Welcome back,

Thanks guys, it has been a relatively stress free build and any problems are user issues!

The stencils are done. They performed very well with Micro Set/Sol and I don’t expect any silvering issues:







The “to do list” is on the top of the cutting mat. I find it helpful to list the final bits as I sometimes forget them!







Thanks for looking,

Beautiful work, Kent! The combination of decals with masked markings is spectacular-spectacular! This is an exceptional project, full to the brim with much success! Congratulations and best of luck on the remaining "To Do List."

Great work with the decals!
