Fantastic work mustang! Your a far braver soul than I to display all the "innards". I try very hard to cover all of mine up. Thanks for sharing this amazing build
Thought I'd give this one a bump to share with some of the newer crowd.

A very hearty CONGRATS on your first place ! Wonderful news . It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I am so happy for you.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Congratulations Joe for a well-deserved win! It's a beautiful model, I'm not surprised that the judges saw its great merit as well. Muy bien my friend!

many hardy congrats on a well deserved win. That is one sexy looking Dora!
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
After the upper and lower wing separated at the wing root on the starboard wing in transit to the last show I went to with this one I didn't think I'd be able to enter it in another contest. I was able, however, to repair it and make it presentable for her last appearance on the show circuit before retiring her to the display case for good.She won 1st place in the category and then something I didn't see coming was this:A special award for Best WWII Axis Aircraft in Show:She went out with a "Bang".
Thanks alot Tojo!! You know all of those skills are a direct result of hanging out in this forum with you all.
Man,that is just outstanding weathering and detailing
Newtothis Fantastic!! I have to do one like this one day.

This is KILLER Mustang!! All these German builds are making it so difficult to stay in the Pacific. =]

Joe, sorry for the late reply to this beauty, been out west skiing. Wow, that's a mechanic's dream come true, love all the special touches and open display, very inspiring.
Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom. Peace be with you.

Forgot to squeak this one in here as well. The tail section opened up a little. The CMK undercarraige kit included a retracting spring in the box but it sucked so bad that I wasn't about to use it. Instead I used a piece of guitar string I had layin' around and after a coat of paint and a wash it was ready to install.....
GAF: Ahhh you can do it! Takes a little extra time and planning but it's all doable! Thanks for the kudos man.
wing_nut: Thanks for hiliarious comment! It says it all ....and I love that movie!

What a great build, Mustang! Love the open engine detailing (something I would never try.).
Thanks alot allan! I have to say it was an enjoyable build for the most part. The only problem I have really is handling it for picture taking due to a finished model like this being so dang delicate. Aside from that ..............it doesn't get moved at all!!
Thats a really beautiful build. Congrats. Im quite familiar with this set up, years ago I built one for a friend. and I know how difficult it is to put together. Again, beautiful build!
No bucks, no Buck Rogers
I aint THAT good! Thanks a mil Todd. AM all over the place!!!

Man you guys are too kind! Thank you sanderson, Joe Rix (for putting up with me as well) , Bish--Thank YOU for being a part of that GB, Devil Dawg (the kit OOB is run of the mill--LOL) and lawdog.
Lawdog: I shaped the top of the landing gear strut in the shape of a square ( I had two spares and destroyed the first strut) to perfectly fit in the square insert for the landing gear on the Tamiya wing and did alot of measuring to ensure both struts were of equal length so that the bird would have an even stance as viewed from the front. The gear doors were a good reference as well. I'll put together a little tutorial on it and see if I can be of further help to properly illustrate what I'm talking about.
