Hi All

Another update and milestone (Update part 1)

Using the PE fret I made up the seat harness -man- that was hard on the eyes,
used to have 20/20 vision but after that

Added the seat harness


Dry brushed some black on the IP to tone down the white bring out the instruments dial faces,
quite pleased with the results



Added the side console to the pit



Sitting in the fuselage, looks good to me



Dirtied up the tail wheel well- historically, some of the airfields these aircraft flew from
could be quite muddy in Winter and all the fine volcanic soil mixed with water
can create a mess. I recall living in the Hobsonville married quaters on the airfield
perimeter, and watching an RNZAF helecopter come in and sliding along in a spray
of dirty water


Part two to follow in a moment

Regards

Alan

Hi all

Part two as promised including the milestone

Filled in the cavity left by my surgery previous



A little Tamiya Putty to seal any gaps


Cleaned up with some nail polish remover and Q tips



I decided to construct a larger oil cooler to stop see through - not perfect
or accurate but it will do the job



And now the mile stone - the fuselage is glued together



And finally -(No Wise cracks about the peg colour, it was the first one I grabbed
out of the peg basket )


This has been fun so far, next the wings!!!!!

Hope you enjoy

Regards

Alan

Nice work Alan, the Has. kit is still decent enough and you're doing it justice.

I've just closed the fuselage up on something (a rare event for me) and it is a good feeling.

MY WORD !!! The cockpit and the seat belt harnesses et al looks FANTABULOUS...

Neat tidy work and I think your updates are great and your work is impressive.. Keep it coming...

I adore Mustangs...

P.S. Love the Box art....They don't paint them like that anymore !!

Nicely done sir ... looks good. I agree with MARU, they don't paint box art like that anymore (which is a shame).
