Yes, I'm digging the interior.  I also like the paper-holder "clamps" that you use to hold the wings together.  I use bar clamps and small c-clamps, but I think your method may be a little more space efficient.

The cockpit looks great! 

And as to the clamps- hey whatever works!

Airfix P-51 update , body painted little touch up then start undercarriage All in Alclad 2 The Original no decals yet , Alce 606 , Alce 605 , Alce 308 , Alc 119 , Alc 701

OOOH-RAH ! ! Ridleusmc . 
   Yessir Marine .   I have been using these clamps and the little and medium plastic ones for years .You get a good leading - trailing edge without gaps that way . It's also great for ships with external keels .

Nice work Fred, she is coming along splendidly, well done. I didn't know that Alclad made a coloured range of paint, I always thought they just did metal effects and miscellaneous candy's and the like.

Any way, great work.

Looking awsome!  Can't wait to see more. 

Cheers, Mark

Looking real good Mate. I've been wanting to try that Alclad Mil spec paint.

A tip form your Uncle Jay;  if the paper clamps ping off when their too close to the wing edge, try slipping a piece of clear tubing over the  holding surface of the clamp. Then you can clamp right on the edge with out them slipping off. I got some from a fish store , cut to length and simply slit each piece along the center and slip over the edge of the clamp.

Great job masking, and neat look on the different NM on the ammo access doors (though I'll agree toning it down a little was a good idea).

Calling it done , All done in Alclad 2 The Original Paint , changed the silver ammo panels to ALC102 DurAluminium as the silver was too much :)

Great work Fred, well done.

Really like the finish, i have a 1/48 P51 with many extras waiting for this treatment, maybe your build can motivate me.

This turned out great.  I like the inclusion of a pilot.  I still don't have the courage to paint a figure.  Beautiful build.

A stellar performance in the modeling world Mate. This is the very Mustang I wanna build.
