A little bit happening just got to do up the auxiliary fuel tanks and we are ready for another coat of clear and some wash.The brake line I made up out of hollow .010 brass tube and wire casing slide over that for the rubber. Kevin

Lou my actual workstation for model building has always been called the office it's on the other side of that wood pile stands a cabinet built into a wall the room measures 6'WX16"L a couple of pics. And Lou Thanks for the explanation could remember the story itself of the "Flying Dutchman" but that makes plenty of sense. Kevin

Denis you were right hardly changed the color maybe a shade probably should of painted white first then the red live and learn.I have gotten the tailcolors on with a boo-boo forgot to put the tail numbers on first all's not lost I will just cut out the numbers that would show should work.The decals are thick so Walthers was used this stuff works but it scares the bejibbees out of me some crinkles stay it seemed though when I applied regular solvaset to the plane placed decal applied Walthers it smoothed out better.I still have to apply the bottom tailplanes stripes will follow that track and see if the results are more to my liking.

Actually Denis probably made the panel a tad fat according to instructions in the first post and most P-51's but it is what it is Kevin
-
Some colors laid down starting to look the part fellas.I am working nights for awhile it looks like so progress gets slower down to work maybe three nights a week.I may redo the red to a brighter shade to match the decals. Kevin

I do clear Denis for the decals and the wash with the wash being oil base will be going Future for the clear.

The base gloss black worked the best it has ever done for me over the last few years sprayed wonderful .The silver I am so-so started with semi-matte silver too flat? went to airframe silver though not polished to bright so back to semi-matte look's OK?I think once I get the panels done and get the red yellow and OD glare panel all well be good.I did get the exhaust panel with MM Magnesium.I opted out of the grey panels and all one color silver saw another build just quite enough delineation for my likes.

Nice Build have not seen that in my local HobbyLobby.So,Greg you have much success selling this kind of stuff on EBay already assembled? Kevin

It's a little late just noticed they had de-icer boots on the wings also I think up into the the middle of the engines if memory serves me right. Kevin No windows at the waist gunner's position.

Denis this is what I use for up to 1/4" most HS have it in stock even Hobby Lobby I think.The plane is coming along Nicely https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Kristal-Klear-Microscale-Industries/dp/B0006O029E

i have not been idle just slowed down between work and household stuff.I am just about ready to start the gloss black for the base to the Alclad Silver I think I may try some of the panels in a gray flat and spray the same silver and see what kind of contrast I get.The wings were tight ended up maybe removing about .010"off of the bottom of the copit assembly to get a better fit other than that it was a good fit with a couple of dabs of SG as filler nothing major.the instructions show the different wing assembly unlike other.

It took a little while for me to build up these belts to much work and it took about 2 1/2-3 hrs for me to build these four belts but the pit is about to be encase in the fuselage.I want to add that Rabu of https://www.radubstore.com/ was very instrumental in working with Revell in the design of the kit and my hat is off to him this kit just falls together he also designed the belts I used and other AM products.I have already built the duct-work behind the pit and installed pretty much SOP.The wing I will show more of it's totally different from ant other P-51 I've built.
