thanks guys. I am going to model it after Excalibur III that hangs in the Smithsonian. I look at it every time I visit the museum and have taken the pictures I need. This particular P51 has a very interesting history as a Bendix racer and set numerous records after the war. It was originally owned by Paul Mantz after WWII. I am going to finish it in the post war color red color scheme.
I think I will try the glass method.
I have a Saito 100 that runs well so i think I will use it
