Good stuff Glenn, and great pics Gary.
Glenn, on 1/48th scale Mustang panels, I've normally used the tip of a wooden cocktail stick to do the yellow tape around the basic six.
Or get a piece of yellow decal and draw a straight line with a permanent black marker on it, leaving a very thin yellow edge. The cut the decal in the black zone and apply. The black should blend into the background of the IP. Have also seen those lines done in white.
Thanks for the advice guys. I did it earlier this afternoon with a needle dipped in yellow paint. Not perfect, but it's Ok. Didn't have time to take a pic today before work (been working the 3:00pm to Midnight shift for the last couple of weeks) so pictures tomorrow.
The cockpit is finished and I'm ready to join the fuselage sides (the seat will be added after the painting). The cockpit was pretty well detailed out of the box, so all I added was the throttle handle. I just spent some time painting the detail that was there and painted on a few placards on the sidewalls.
