Re: Daz's Iron Eagle - Part 2
The German marked Mustang looks great and the P-51A is coming along well.

The Mustang is getting some paint on now....
The rockets in the foreground are to be fitted under the wings.

Painting all done - decals later.
Doesn't look too bad, if I'm honest. The canopy was a pain, though.

And she is.... DONE!
All in all, not a difficult build, no major problems encountered (save for the canopy). The model now sits alongside the Spitfire on my display shelf - and doesn't look too out of place alongside the real Messerschmitts!

Re: Daz's Iron Eagle - Part 2 **FINISHED**
Nice job Daren! Even if in the 'wrong' colours..... 
I found it best to put the front windscreen part in first, and work back from there when I built the two I have done previously

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
