I'm pleased that you've chosen this unusual version of the Mustang. Should be a great build.

The sprues were washed and work began last weekend.

I started by assembling the wing.

The flaps were then cut away.

sadly I won't be able to complete this within the GB time frame so I will have to declare this a DNF. this will be completed in Aviation modelling later.

No worries David; it was a good attempt and great to see the variation that it offered to the GB!

Bonus points for the brave choice and the stylish scheme!
