Giulio,

A great result from what looked like a challenging kit.

One thing though: can you get a closer fit of the spinner to the fuselage? It looks a bit 'loose' at the moment.

regards,

Martin

Martin, don't looks "a bit loose", It'ìs "loose". ;-)
For me, it's right so.
it's a moodel, I have fun to build it, i studied and learned something new about the Recce Mustangs.
The next will be better.

I think that modeling is a subtle mix of zen philosophy and absolute crazyness - but in my case I would not dare to specify the respective percentage of each......

Very nice finish, have enjoyed watching the build as the Allison Mustang is missing from my Mustang shelves as yet and I really do need to build one or two.
