Oh yes it was cold in the shop today. Raining here so I had plenty of time to work on Francis B.

 

I do like those stripes!

I can almost see the finish line from here. She got a coat of future this afternoon so decals are next. Then I get to chip up some paint. :frantic:

Francis B is on her legs! Still plenty of work to do but each time I work on her she looks more like a Mustang.

The ref pics I have show a lot of weathering so I hope I don't overdo it.

Thanks for all the great comments and help on this build guys! I have really enjoyed myself and I am quite sure I would not have had as much fun without everyones support.

 

Francis B. Too! is done.

The stripes really set off this airframe. I have trouble with my photography so bear with me.

I have pastels all over my face. My wife is going to laugh at me.

Last one. Just a little beat up.

This being my first resin kit, I have to say it was a pleasure. The kit has some tricky parts but nothing caused me to want to stop. Thanks Jerry, your Mustang provided me a fantastic learning experience, six weeks of model building and a nice P-51 in my workshop!
