very nicely done. One comment is that most of the 51Bs had a much darker OD unless this was modelled after as ship in the June-July 1944 timeframe with a lot of wear on it. That is a P-51B-5 that was in ops in late February 1944. attached is acolor shot of a typical ETO OD in early May for the same vintage P-51B
The model is a few shades darker than shown in the pics. The flash washed out the color. The base coat is MM OD with just a touch of brown. I really need a better photo setup.
I had the same issue when I posted pics of my FAA Hellcat. The OD looked completely different in the pictures than in the flesh so I understand completely.
A fine build sir. I'd love to see more of your work and to see you particiapte in a Start to Finish or Group Build thread.

the best way to show is natural light.. I built this Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D 30 years ago and sent it to Harley Copic to use for the cover art on my book about the 355th FG
