Tolga ULGUR Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Here's a thread on ARC, bottom post... Going off the photo Martin posted it looks like the earlier Sutton QK Harness, whereas the restored aircraft in the ARC thread has, what looks to be the later QS/QL/QP version, Radu and HGW both sell the earlier versions... http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/173927-raf-mustangs-interior-colour/ http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_126&products_id=426 http://hgwmodels.cz/en/seatbelts/162-spitfire-late-seatbelts-132-132004.html Ok Decided to correct the seat. I will buy early british sutton harness and will apply to the other seat without harness from the vector set. But I don t think to modify spinner, I will use it as it is. Thanks a lot for your help and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Sorry to be a know-it-all (I don't by any means), but photo 2 is a US bird: AX identified a Sqn of the 67th TRG iirc, and you can just see the corner of the star'n'bar after the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Indeed it is, and on the wing of this F-6A is Lt.col. George Peck Commander of the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUROK Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Check out that last photo. The code letter on the fuselage appears to be hand painted...with no masking used! Model builders take heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Now ready for the wings. By the way British sutton harness ordered today. Toward the end of the construction will be replaced with the actual one. Edited June 27, 2017 by Tolga ULGUR Dan Paxton and sandokan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Tolga, The pit really looks good once you've closed up the fuselage so it becomes part of the whole, not the centerpiece that we've been looking at with such critical eyes. Looking forward to seeing the wings attached to the fuselage. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 What an amazing job! The Allison Mustangs are so underappreciated today, and even back then. They were an awesome dive bomber and a great medium altitude recce bird. The ran them till they fell simply apart from use and abuse in the Med and Pacific. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Lower wing part installed. After some modification for the lights area in the leading edge upper wings will be glued. MikeC and MikeMaben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
