Thanks. Spiny things also added.

Looking good. Let's see the rest of the bird.

Bid’s the word. Gorgeous morning, so a few pics later this morning.

In the light of morning, and removing the masking...i am not at all happy with the windscreen. But, there is nothing to do at this point. I had intended to mask it a bit and paint at this point, but Pffftttt, ain't gonna happen. Clear parts and me are having a strained relationship to say the least.
Decals did settle in quite nicely with Solvaset. Paint is okay and all that..But those darn clear parts.

Wow, that looks good. I hear ya on canopy painting AND gluing them on the model. They like to fight but very few do cooperate. Remember how hard glying the 4 or 5 piece canopy from the 1/32 scale P-51B Berlin Express fought me? Never again...

I know you struggled with that P-51 canopy, but nailed pretty well. I could not get the tape to stay down on this one. IF I do go back to it, I'll simply sand it out, polish it a bit and paint it black. There is no detail at all on the inside, so nothing would be lost. Thanks for your kind words.
