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

Re: Kit's NT Airfix F-51D
Sorry for the lack of updates but as usual time has been at a premium. Started painting the interior.
Then before I knew it I was at this stage, this goes together rather quickly
Quick silver coating
Stage I'm at now. Found a set of AM decals I forgot I had so going to use them
Not happy with the dark wing panels so going to redo them then it's on to decalling

Another 0 - 60 in no time at all! 
Nice work Kit 
It does fly (see what I did there?
) together a bit quickly; I just wish I'd had a chance to start mine..... 
I have it programmed for a start on Sunday

Re: Kit's NT Airfix F-51D
Started with the decaling
Then promptly dropped it in a muddy puddle
Then after a quick wipe down, stuck on the fiddly doodahs and she's done
