Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F-6B

[BlueNosers352nd]

Started on a new build tonight, the Accurate Miniatures 1/48 F-6B Mustang.   Stealing the nose pieces from a P-51A to get the wider scoop.  I think I am going to go with this scheme, if I can duplicate the camera scoreboard using the box decal and hopefully making more on the printer.  Need to find out the Crew Chiefs name as well.  The SuperScale sheet doesn't have the camera stencils nor the Pilot and Crew Chief name.

I've also think I've gone mad.  Hand painting the instrument panel so only the dials were left clear seems like a huge hassle to me.  So I pulled out the Waldron Punch set and created a bunch of dots.  Took an old business card and put some scotch tape down.  Then put Tamiya tape on the scotch tape prior to punching the different sizes out.  The sizes are close, and let's face it, they'll be hard to see once it's all sealed up.
