Getting started on the next one. This Tamiya's "new" P-51D which is really just a re-boxing with different decals and some canopy masks thrown in.

Oh I love a Mustang build :popcorn
Great how they include a 1/72 paint mask with the 1/48 as well - I got the same kit and just happen to have a 1/72 Tamiya P-51D in the stash (y)
Looking forward to watching your build Firesmacker

Buttoned up, wings on, and seams waiting for tomorrow to be sanded (the bottom looks the same-ish):

Thanks, guys. This CTA thing has given me a reason to get back to it.

I came to a "crossroads" in my modeling and decided that I want to enjoy it again. Therefore, if it is going to give me a headache/heartburn I'm not bothering with it.(I'm talking going all super-detailing and the like). There are plenty of great kits that look fine OOB and that's what I'm concentrating on from here on out.

Looking good. Good out look also. This AMS is a pain.
