I really need to set up a proper photo booth....... I'd better do a search and see if there's an article on LSP that might give me a few pointers....

As you know, aluminium is soooo much fun once you get the hang of it. Having said that, the internal bomb bay door detail will probably be made from styrene and painted, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do right? That Mustang of yours is absolutely epic! patricksparks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not quite as proud as I have them here, but noticeably so. JayW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKB Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Craig, Nice "recovery" with the bomb bay "adjustment!" Looking forward to seeing your bomb bay doors interior face. I'm sure you'll capture that unique curvature of the ribs. I was waiting with great anticipation to see how you pulled off the wing root fairings. As usual, you did --- and beautifully done! You must be getting really amped up with the steady progress your making. You still have a lot of work ahead of you, but you must be feeling that you're coming up on the "home stretch."
