Almost done. All that's left is a little weathering and removing the masking off the canopy.

Looking very good. And I like the historical record that goes with it.

Here is the finished product and I must say it make's a nice addition to the shelf collection. Normally, I do not build multiple versions of the same aircraft. Fortunately, the RF-51D makes a nice complement to my other Airfix P-51D. :)

Stunning build. I like that one very much.

All the best.

Thanks for all the compliments. I must say that I have a rule of rarely building the same Aircraft twice. The RF-51D version is just different enough to fill in mu mustang collection. Now on to a pair of P-51Bs, one with the Malcolm Hodd and the other with the standard razerback version.
