You doing something with your kits, with your eyes closed Wayne, would still be a hell lot better than what I do with my eyes open mate!

You will seriously see the difference in fit and quality of the Tamiya kit, the only thing I don't like about them is the 2 piece main canopy..

Isn't though! When I bought the P-51D I started test fitting the pieces and in ten minutes I had the whole thing together with out glue and it looked like it was ready for paint!

Sorry guys no pictures, soon if you're good

Meyer's Stang is getting decals. I have to paint and attatch the spinner, canopy, canopy rail, wheels, doors, tail wheel. Not much more. This 'Stang is looking sharp in all its decals.
