Ferocious Frankie  looks Gorgeous  already. 

Keep it going.

Thank you Maru for the kind words, will get back soon to finish the pilot and print it for his ride,  true, can't have enough  Mustangs, we are on the same page for ponies mate ;) cheers

 

Some Ups and downs lately with the build, while handing it I broke the landing strut and got very pissed off, then remembered that I did not used them previously in "Missouri Armada" build since it is in flight display,  so happily I had a spare one, still had to removed the panel cover and remove the insert part which was screwed and also glued for reinforcement, but finally it worked, then been having problem with the fuselage insignia, got lazy and used the tamiya  decal which ended up with silvering contour, sanded it off and repainted, then I used again another decal, this time from the revell kit and looked good but after some hours  appeared some air bags and weird texture so again had to remove them, so finally I used some mask and got happy, still lots of touch ups here and there but the build goes on, thanks for watching cheers

Antonio, Sorry for your decal problems.  I’m glad to see you were able to repair them successfully.  Frankie is sure looking excellent.

 

To your question, 109’s all the way.  Though I will admit that the Mustang is an attractive machine.
