Progress pics
I've got the fuselage mostly assembled and puttied. I was suprised
to find some nasty seams on this otherwise excellent kit. See the
lower radiator for an example. I wasn't expecting to do much
re-scribing on this kit, JMart. But it appears that I will need to
re-do some of the lines on top and bottom after some aggresive
sanding over the seams. When I get there, I will try to snap some
pics of how I like to do it since you asked.
I put a few decals on the camera, which I think kind-of makes it stand
out a bit. I didn't mention it before, but I glued a small length of plastic
straw over the kit's camera lens to improve the appearance.
Navy,
I really like that Ridge Runner scheme. Did you notice the small fins on
the wingtips? I'm generally a Mustang purist, but those look really sweet
on a P-51! It would be a neat detail to put on your model. Very subtle.
Our group build is really shaping up nicely. I'm excited :)
