Tamiya P-51D

I'm building this one AOOB, with the addition of Barracudacals placard decals. These things are tiny - I've spent much time contorted over my work bench with a jeweler's loupe in one hand, and a small needle in the other... Still some small details to paint, and some dry brushing before the flat coat.

A minor setback this week... I wanted to spray the aluminum framework in the nose before I slapped the fuselage halves together. I figured it would be a good opportunity to try some liquid mask; it was a mistake! Luckily a couple of coats of clear laquer took care of the discoloration. The next set of photos will have the fuselage together...

Wings nearly finished, too. That middle MG is absent for a reason - I forgot to drill the holes to locate the external fuel tank pylons!

Somewhere, I picked up this fiber optic attachment for my Mag Light...

One locating hole is better than none!
