Well, the polycap that is supposed to link/sync the left and right elevators fell out during the process of joining the fuselage halves. So I had to saw out the little housing that was supposed to hold the polycap in place and set it manually. Looks like I have one "unforced error" so far...

That Merlin is looking great. Looks like it came with the kit? Must be a lot easier than old resin, lol

It's close to time to add the canopy and mask for paint. Lots of weathering yet to go. And the gun bays are looking a bit bland. Needs some additional paint and wiring.

Time to close up the cockpit and prep for paint. Going to be one of those traditional natural metal schemes with lots of wear and tear...

Yep agreed Ky, my next P-51 will definitely be a Tamiya. How did detailing the gun bays go Marlin?

Still working on them. The fit has had only one issue that was even close to being worth mentioning. The right wing gun port on the leading edge did not fit perfectly. So I have had to do a little filling on the undersurface. The underwing scoop was almost an issue but seems to have settled into place. WARNING: one must fit the AILERONS BEFORE THE FLAPS. Otherwise the photo etched hinge does not get locked into place by the steel shaft from the outboard end of the flap. Missed this so it was unforced error #2...

Okay, after looking at some of the real aircraft, I am not sure there is any detail needed except to weather the bay and guns. I was expecting some electrical or other pipes/wiring, but alas, there does not appear to be any...

I'm back! So the masks provided are intended to be applied to the outside surface. However, it's really hard to mask the interior surface, so I cut the masks and applied them to the inside of the glass and then used Scotch tape for the outside. Leaving the interior a little "over masked, the black primer added to the outside with the flat black interior will create a nice effect overall.

Back at it! Prop is done, not yet weathered. Needs some scuffing along the leading edges.

I'm using Alclad and Metalizer. Sadly, my collection of Metalizer is shrinking. My choice for masking tape is 3M PostIt Notes. They work really well on the soft surface of Alclad Primers and Paints. Looking to seal it up next and start the process of marking/weathering.

I love the finish of Metalizer but hoo boy is it fragile. I hear you on supply. I'm all out of aluminum; stainless steel and jet exhaust are all that's left. 🙁
Your IDF Mustang is looking great, however!

Turrets test fitted. Catapult rail on centre turret was entertaining to get into position. Instructions were very vague ...

Looking great! Was the island structure a good fit? Because I will be replacing those poles.

Steven Van Dyck. The island structure took quite a while to get sorted. The ends of the poles are shaped at angles which fit into the base of the island structure. If not fitted perfectly the island structure wont fit level. This one is about 2mm shorter than the original due to a few fit issues and getting it level.

Thanks Allister, I really should return to battleships with conning towers, it looks interesting.

Watching this one, how is the quality of the kit? I couldn't find any reviews but from here it looks pretty darn good.

It is excellent. It fits together very well and is well engineered. Well worth the money.

Updating photos of old models in my collection. This 1:48 F-100 Thunderbirds was built ~1984. Missing LG doors on the starboard lg and the end of the nose pitot has been broken off. Still for 40+ years, it's survived well.
