Greg great as usual as to the deck not fitting was that the plastic our the PE being introduced?I will have to do the Mogami one day and can see just off here could set the whole deck off to which I could see in your case cutting the deck was a great solution since you have the overlay.It's a shame all that fine work below is going to be covered up being so Beautiful!

This crate is getting close to finish gunsight,canopy,front windscreen,lights and antenna.The wash is complete with a semi-gloss enamel applied I don't know if the pics you see the lines from the auxiliary tanks.The plane has some of her faults but overall I am satisfied I would like to "American Beauty" but save that for the 1/24 I have and paint the colors.The 315 bird has the silver applied I did a primer this time buffed it then shot the lacquer gloss black hit it with semi-flat AL topside and it was to flat for me it says bare metal not painted!I then hit it with Airframe AL which is usually pretty bright looks good up top but on the bottom well you will see straight on the gloss.

That is looking Really Nice in the long run and different to boot Kevin

The wash has started already getting that used look about her as for the 1/48 changed scheme a NM finish Polish still FX985 315 Squadron

Like the looks of that one Denis came out Nice! Kevin PS: for future reference Denis the prop decals go about 1/2 the way up from the hub about.

not much to add for the past week did get the Fuel Tanks added and applied about three more coats of clear.I am now thinking about adding the some lines between the tank and the wing should of thought that before hand but I'll get there.The other plane is a quick build 1/48 Revell P-51 B/C D-Day Polish will be it's markings.

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.
