One of my favourite WW2 era planes is the Mustang. So here goes nothing...

I need to replace the prop to make it a K model hence the resin bit. I also have a set of resin exhausts kicking around somewhere.

Cheers, David.

Good one, should like great when done. Technically, you need to replace the canopy with a 'Dallas' hood too, but to be honest, it won't be noticed in this scale.
 
Woo hoo, goin for another one, goodonyah....
Safe to say you will do a smashin job on the camo the first go!!!!!
Look forward to seein this one go together.
 
Ah Ha! That's you sorted then David - I didn't know the kit had the optional parts, I'll bear that in mind for future projects. Thanks for the info.
 
Past due for an update. I have been working on this slowly. Need to tidy up a few things. Wheel bays aren't the best - had trouble with ZC yellow and then I don't think the wash was entirely dry before I flat coated it. Anyhows....
