A fine looking yellow. I too added some red to an almost full bottle mostly for the reason you give but also for the reason that somehow I have four full bottles of Tamiya yellow

You have a nice deep yellow and for a man who has little mojo you're not doing do bad. 
Lovely work so far Andy!

Thanks friends. Uncorked the yellow again and sprayed the leading edges. Eduard has us painting the these form the tips all the way up to the root fillets. Will check that. Also shot in the same session, the Sky band.
The support straps on the drop tanks are strips of aluminum foil tape. A bit too shiny perhaps.
I'll be adding scratch-built fuel and pressure lines to these after applying the stencil decals.
Thanks again for the looks and likes.

Very nice. I like the straps. Not your aircraft but same squadron dated may '45. Best I can do so far

Thanks Geo. I looked close at the shots on page 1 of my bird as well as the one you posted above and have come to the conclusion that the yellow LEs did indeed extend up to the fillet. See below detail of my bird showing the yellow stopping just to the left of the bottom corner of the 'B'.
Real Nice Andy.

This might help Andy. (From "Camouflage & Markings, RAF Mustang").

Thanks Terry. That diagrams shows, however, that the yellow extends right up to the wing root which differs from Eduard's instructions and from what I see in the pics. I think I will stop it at the fillet.

Yes, I've tried to find clear photos of the Mk.IV showing the yellow band, but inconclusive. I have, however, seen photos of the Mk.III, as well as Allison-engined types, with the yellow bands up to the wing root, and also just to the outer edge of the root fillet.
I agree with your choice though, and I would do it the same way.

Yellows and Sky have been masked, ready for camo spritzing.
It took me a good half hour to get the yellow cowl lines to look like the photos and symmetrical but I think I'm there now. The undersides were then shot with Tamiya XF-83 Medium Sea Grey. I didn't do any preshading as I think these aircraft didn't see much action and so a cleaner look might be warranted.
The grey coat revealed a couple of seams that I didn't like so it was back to the jar of nearly empty and tar-like Tamiya Surface Primer to fill things in.
Thanks again for stopping by for a look.

Nice spray Andy but I don't like the look of the fungi growing on the underside wing root.
