Almost ready for take off. I decided to leave the resistors outside the fuselage. Not that much room to work with, but I can hide them easily in the base.
The homemade decals can't add the white, so the undercoat will solve that problem... now for some very careful masking! The metal finish of the Mustang is much easier to deal with.
The rest of the decals applied... some homemade, some from the kit. Looking good if I do say so myself. The base is a wooden coaster with a homemade decal, it's a technique I've used for my Area 88 1/144 projects and I like the look.
Almost had a disaster when the motors were hooked up. One of the 4 Mustang propellor blades was not properly glued in and I launched it across the room when the motor started spinning. Luckily a clean up and grid search allowed me to find the missing piece. Whew!
When the Black Knight of Berlin's code of honour is used against him and his Focke-Wulf Fw190 is shot down by a P-51 Mustang, he comes back with a vengeance in a new Messerschmitt Me262 and shoots down the American Boeing B-17 Bomber he had at first only disabled.
