Pete's Academy 1/72 Mustang

Well, the family history is still distracting me, but I've managed to get most of the decals on. The Red flash between the white 'chin' and the aluminium fuselage wasn't quite the shape I expected when I painted the white so that'll need touching up.

Still have to fit the front cowl and the prop of course but I'll let the decals on the prop dry off a bit more first. I'm not happy with the paint at all, but luckily the decals distract attention from the paintwork!
Thanks for watching.

Peter,
Looking good.

Thanks Paul, it looks good from a distance. In the dark. If you're shortsighted.
Anyway, I'm calling it finished:

Those red flashes that separate the aluminium from the white just wouldn't wrap around the wing root properly - seem from underneath one was a lot further forward than the other. After trying unsuccessfully for some hours to get them aligned, I gave up and just overpainted them with white!
I'll put some more photos up on a c'completed' thread.
Thanks for watching.
Pete

Thanks Si!
The decals hide some of the defects.
