Ilya Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Hi all! Two years ago I decided, that I need a Mustang in my collection. I saw a Dragon kit of P-51K Mustang in the shop - and i thought: "Why not?". It was a terrible mistake The kit has a lot of problems. When I started work with wheel bay - I really went to pieces. But sometime ago I decided to finish this work. Some work moments: Removing panel lines and rivets Added some positive rivets New ligths New bay for flaps Some rudder improvements The both sides in cockpit where wrong. The new one Edited February 9, 2022 by Ilya reupload photo Sharkmouth 1
Ilya Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Then I started painting The fuselage Some work with radiator bay Edited February 9, 2022 by Ilya reupload photo Sharkmouth, Piprm, Whitey and 2 others 5
Ilya Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) And the wheel bay - this is the most difficult part for me. The kit part was thrown in the trash. Edited February 9, 2022 by Ilya reupload photo Sharkmouth, Jeff T and Whitey 3

Ilya Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Thanks to all! I have found some motivation to finish this model. and here is some progress: first of all, I corrected flaps Then - landing gear with some improvements Finished wheel bay And this is how it looks in the wing Edited February 9, 2022 by Ilya reupload photo Whitey and Sharkmouth 2
Ilya Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Fuselage and wing are together The down side was totaly incorrect. After correcting: And after painting Edited February 9, 2022 by Ilya reupload photo Whitey, Jeff T and Sharkmouth 3
