Well done Karl - that looks good. But where are you finding the time? This is just a distraction from building a real pukka aircraft, the Hurricane!

Cheers

Karl

I bit the bullet and ordered a decal set for my Mustang with the markings for Lt. John E Davenport. 352nd Fighter Squadron. P-51C 42-103363 SX-M "Lucky Leaky II".

After I ordered it found out it is a late model with a fillet on the tail!

more work
