I have this very kit and am planning to build it soon! How did you get such fine painting on the instrument panel? It looks amazing!

Thanks Rando. I dry-brushed dark grey and white on the instrument faces and then picked out some buttons and placards with a very fine brush. Dry-brushing highlighted some areas that I didn't want highlighted so I came back with some flat black and repainted the "rim" around the flight instruments.

Each of the dials will get a drop of clear later. Check out my album on the Revell P-51D for another panel if you're interested.

Great to hear about how you did this, and I definitely will!

Rando
Very nice! I think you have the right idea of not attaching the seat yet since it's so flimsy…maybe I'll carefully remove mine. How did fitting that radio part work out for you? Did it go in like we discussed?

KyMustang
Thanks. Yeah it'll go in later along with the rollover bar. Also gives me time to scratch seatbelts.

The rear radio rack went perfectly above and behind the main rack. It fits under the horizontal "stringer" aft of the main radio deck.

Your struggle seems to be coming along in excellent fashion!!!! Keep it up! 👍

Thanks for the encouragement. I have four more of these Allison birds in the stash and this is the variant I like the least….so on the upside, I'm learning a lot for the others! 😂
