Re: despondman's Airfix P-51D Mustang **Started**
Nice progress and quick too. You are right. It is a nicely designed kit.

Wow! That's really coming together. Looks great. I was just looking at this kit at the LHS a few minutes ago...this build is a great selling point.
I'm working the on the new tool Airfix Bf-109E, and the kit engineering looks very similar. That one is going together very nicely too.
Keep it up!

I have temporarily lost the ability to post photos, hopefully should be able to soon.
The paintwork is now complete and has been gloss varnished. Decals next.

Good to see that you've found time to fit a Blitz in, it's looking great so far.

Re: despondman's Airfix P-51D Mustang **Started**
Finally able to post a photo. I have had more ICT problems than modelling problems today.
Now I can get on with the decalling.

Decalling completed - well as far as I am going to go with it anyway as there is a full set of stencils with this kit.
I am going to leave it there for tonight, let the decals settle down overnight, and finish off in the morning with
a coat of matt varnish, plus one or two other little bits that need doing.

The decals settled well over night, the few little bits and bobs required are done, varnished applied and this one is finished.
Thanks to everyone that looked in and the positive comments - much appreciated.
