So in a moment of OCD I gave in to adding detail on the left wing before I looked over at the right wing. This plane is missing the gun bay door detail which is pretty obvious and given all the work someone did on the master model I figured it was needed. I also removed the extra gas cap detail these wings have. I’m guessing the model was based on a demilitarized P-51D somewhere and not a typical war bird. I’ve never seen any wartime Mustangs with that extra fuel capacity modification documented in service.
Where things took a turn was when I looked over at the next wing and realized it’s totally OFF! I should have learned my lesson on the servo doors and other hints but noooo.

The wings are ready for primer and finishing. After this it’s time to get the Fuse and wings together and get the connections sorted so I can finish up the radio and Cockpit. I’ll leave the engine and cowl for last.




Deleted Gas Caps





What!!!
