I knew Panther man wouldn't let a wing root problem slow him down. I think it's going to look great, but then, the P-51 was always my favorite

Thank you sir. PM

Looks like the bottom should have been spaced and the tips brought up...just sayin'
Looks like you've fixed the problem, and on your way to a decent finish
Looking forward to some colour (2thumsup)

I did bring it up a bit but to fill the gaps just by lifting the wings would have put the wingtips above the canopy..... Pantherman

As long as the dihedral is 5 degrees , you're good .

I think it's 5.25 degrees to be exact .

That would make it 57 years old. I wouldn't be surprised by any fit issues.

At 66, it's amazing that any of my members are still attached!

For an old kit, it looks pretty decent actually once you get some primer on it

Maybe an Earl or a Baron.......Pantherman

Saw this, made me think of this kit, based on accuracy only.

So I have done a little bit more on my weekend build which is taking a month......

Front view as promised, still alot of painting and decals to fit but getting there. I'm not sure if it's the correct wing angle (thanks for the info urumomo) but I'm not really that bothered about it. The main reason for building this was to try out my silver blue paint mix and I'm very happy with that. Pantherman

After what looked to be a toss away, this is really turning out to be very interesting.
If you have said before PM and I missed it.
What is the silver blue for?
I like it.

You're not going to paint the canopy frame ?
