Paint!
The original spinner and propeller, are really two pieces of plastic that seem scraps!
In my spare box I found a Ju87 spinner, from the old Revell Kit: It's perfect!
For the pripeller, a P40 relic from Accademy, come in my aid.
Regards

I always wondered, why other modelers, were delighted when they find in the box, the decals with the "Invasion Stripes" ready.
I said to myself: "Where is the difficulty! You just have to paint the white and black stripes"
Now, I know.
Hope you like, it's my "first time" with the "Invasion Stripes".

First time or not, that looks pretty damn good to me! You even seem to have captured a white wash texture appearance as well!
Best wishes

Really excellent B/W stripes on the RAF Mustang!

Very nice. The D-Day stripes work very well. It's amazing how dumpy it looks without the bubble canopy version.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Very nice! I like seeing the "high-back" Mustangs once in a while!
