I think I will have to start with this guy. I have have so many P-51D decals and I just love this kit. So many mems..

Printscale I used this sheet: https://printscale.org/product_449.html Pro's Often cover subjects not seen before Cons: Print quality seemed like it could have been better; however, not really noticeable at normal viewing distance Very thin and difficult to work with -- can easily ruin a decal if you...

Don't ya just love when that happens? At least it was not rocks inside..

Going to watch and learn on your build :cool: Thanks Mongoose. Like I sai...

I'm not really sure yet; obviously, this is not going to be a contest model. The important thing is to make the fit as good as possible before painting. I may just leave the ...

Thanks John!
