One of my favourite WW2 era planes is the Mustang. So here goes nothing...










The restored version:







I need to replace the prop to make it a K model hence the resin bit. I also have a set of resin exhausts kicking around somewhere.



Cheers, David.

That's a beauty scheme.

Good one, should like great when done. Technically, you need to replace the canopy with a 'Dallas' hood too, but to be honest, it won't be noticed in this scale.

Cheers fellas. Hope I can do her justice.

The Dallas hood comes as an option in the kit. Which was handy.

Ah Ha! That's you sorted then David - I didn't know the kit had the optional parts, I'll bear that in mind for future projects. Thanks for the info.
