Nice work Paul. Looking forward to seeing this as I too didn't know the Canadians had the early P51.

All the best.

OK, so I haven't updated this for a while, but I have been doing work on it - little bits at a time, but they've started to add up.

As you can see, the wings are on - they needed a little filler at the roots, which was a bit of a surprise; I don't remember that from the previous ones I've built.

The white areas have been sprayed and masked, and I added the black underfuselage invasion stripes today.

The cockpit quarterlights are in and the windscreeen attached. Next up will be the canopy, then I can mask them all and start painting.

Not shown here are the fiddly bits, such as the wheels, gear doors and U/C legs, which have all been painted appropriately.

I'm so disappointed! Here I was thinking I'd see a stunning looking running horse... but a plane!?
Looking good, Paul

Love your interior work.

Some more progress. Pre-shading on, and painted the undersides:

Faired in the rear quarter lights:

Next up, I have some Ocean Grey for the topsides - that'll be tomorrow.
