Good morning

Good looking progress with your Photo Mustang, Patrice!

Here is S-26, the Swedish photoreconnaisance Mustang (built on the Airfix 1/72 F-51D)...

Good morning Andre

Thank you for your comment

Your Mustang is very nice ..

Patrice

Thanks Patrice,

The Swedish S-26 differed in some ways from the US F6D as it had an different and bigger camera. They had to build a small box under the fuselage and two hatches on the top of the fuselage. The antenna was also moved forward (not fitted yet on my S-26).

  and 27002 https://www.humbrol.com/us-en/27002-polished-aluminium-metalcote-14ml-enamel-paint.html
