That's a great build, David. Looks good with the invasion stripes :)

You are a better man I for this build. The kit turned out very nice. I offer my most sincere congratulations. :)

You certainly turned a tinkers pony into a prize stallion alright. Nice one David. Very impressive work.

All the best.

Good work on this kit David, which is hardly in the shake and bake category, you've managed a nice finish.

Thanks everyone, what I did to this model has indeed improved it but it isn't really 'there' yet, the fuselage is still too wide and to reduce the width any more would have meant drastic surgery to the wings also and as we are not exactly short of accurate, well detailed Mustangs I really didn't even think of going any further than this which was after all just done for fun and embellished from the spares box to not only detail the model but to draw the eye from the model's other flaws. As an exercise it served its purpose and represents what this model could have been with a little more effort on the part of Starfix. This model was the only example in the stash and it won't ever be replaced!
