X2. Also, putting your model on white posterboard will help immensely.

Update time:
I have worked on the cockpit a bit. I can't do too much until my extra parts arrive from Russia... that will take time.
I drilled some holes into the battery/radio and added some wires. I tried to make it look like the rubberish coating on the floor had been scratched away with feet.
Still more to come

Well done and nice work!

That’s coming along very nicely!

My 3d Decals arrived yesterday. Pictures will come soon, but one thing to note: I got the wrong version. I thought I should be getting the "late" version of the decals, considering it is the P51-D. The early set in my mind meant a P51B or something like that... turns out I should have gotten the early version because the decals do not fit in some parts of the cockpit. I had to modify some parts of the interior walls to make the decals fit. The cockpit isn't exactly accurate anymore because there are parts from 2 different versions of the P51 going on in there.
