Great finish all around, very nice job! The canopy looks awesome, I guess it's the custom one..l I want to make a "Cadillac of the skies" P-51 one day, but d not want to go int too much aftermarket stuff, does the Revell kit do the job or would you say something is a must-have to get it right?

Thank you Neuling and Rui S ! 🙂
Slavo : thank you too. The front canopy is the squadron. Sliding part is the revell one. I wanted to switch because the distortion in the clear parts makes it very weird when you look through them (Worst in the front part)
Adaptation was tricky but not impossible at all. the vac canopy is meant for the hasegawa model, so is larger at the base. I installed shims at the base to compensate the loss of thickness, and have it flush with the exterior. then superglue to get it in place.

About the Revell Kit, I would say it's perfect for the price. Even with no Aftermarket it will build into a very accurate model.
It does now need a boxing with a late tail!

Thanks Math, that's all the info I needed - the canopy as you did it looks just great. Now I am sure to use the Revell kit, it will suit the job perfectly. Mine should be an in-flight capture (just like in the movie scene...), I hope the landing gear can be fitted closed without issues & gaps... Need to find a suitable pilot figure now 🙂

This will be perfect. The landing gear doors are closed and you have to cut them if you want them open. I look forward for your build. Cheers
