So, the fancy NMF wing panelling work is, er, a fancy… Superior modelling skills in evidence! Kind regards, Joachim That's my comment too, but no answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Really beautiful P-51. Is the canopy problem because of the thickness of the sides not allowing it to sit further down on the fuselage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one can fix it when sanding this area a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo1112 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 To Zigomar; Hello Jean (Salut Jean) About the P-51 wing would you say that the entire wing was painted the same colour (as like a dope), and, of course all the rivets flushed down. In this case it is of course normal that you only can see ONE shade of (bare ?) natural metal finish. But what's the matter with the fuselage and tail-planes , fin ,rudder, and so on ? Are these also painted this uniform silver paint in, or can we imagine they are different colours shades, according to the different alloys that were used on the Mustang ?
