                        Guess I better saddle up the ole' pony and git moving. Five months is barely enough time to start a model.

                        no problem. i saw today walmart still has a couple of the monogram p-51's in stock. may have to purchase them. and build another or two. btw my next step is decals, spent last night touching up the paint and putting the future on. so i am on the backstretch for this one. pics to be posted soon.

                        Maybe I should ask this in the NMF thread, but I suspect this one is more read right now.

                        I am going to do my finish with SNJ. Should I use primer beforehand?? I imagine the primer would be very helpful in finding blemishes, but it would also make it so surface the SNJ would go on would not be nice polished plastic. Any advice?

                        Also, and I suppose a little less important, is the badge for now or when our mustang is complete? Don't want to do it wrong Confused [%-)]
                        Thanks,

                        Can I still get on this build? I just rustled up an Accurate Miniatures Mustang Mk.1A that I was going to backdate into a Mk.1, probably with 414 sqn RCAF markings. Looks like good work by others in this build already, so I hope I'm not too late.

                        From what I hear'd, sum cowboy's done use flat black as a base coat/primer fer 'dem thar NMf type finishes. I never do - but then that's just me. Ya can mosey on down ta the SnJ website an' see whut thier recommendations are

                        Joe, thats a big improvement from your first foil job on the P-38. Still not as smooth as you might like, but definitely getting better. Practice makes perfect.

                        Regards, Rick
