Tamiya 1:32 Mustang

I don't have a clue why the paint lifted on just the ammo bay cover and nothing else. Even went back to my test mule F86, couple of different tapes on it and nothing lifts! Just don't understand it but it's recovered. Used the decals from the Barracuda Decal set.
Decal solution wasn't used on the high shine area. Used Solvaset on the Insignia on the wings.
First, formation lights.
Started with Model Master Chrome down in the reflector.
Then used Tamiya transparent green, red and AlcladII transparent yellow. Instructions called for orange, I don't have orange so I did yellow. It'll be ok...
Used AlcladII Aqua Gloss Clear to seal the lenses in place.
Y'all think I was kidding about OD being pulled out.. any more finish being pulled off and we're going camo!
Good overhead shot
yes, there's a part missing. Finally remembered where I lost it, problem is I'll have to dismantle some shelving to get to it. That means I have to clean up...or steal it from the other kit...one guess what i'm doing.
Can you see the RB Canopy Rail in place?
Took some liberties with the prop, the source image I could see a white band painted on the props, think i got it in the wrong place. Don't tell anyone...
Shot from the underside where you can see the relocated antenna.
Speaking of antenna, guess it's getting to the point of making the duel antenna for the UD system. Not sure if I'm going to steal the antenna from both kits or scratch build. I think the wood mast look thicker at the bottom than the antenna that are in the kits. Guess we'll see...
thanks for looking and comments, suggestions and WTFs are welcome!

Thought about that James but I wasn't sure the Tamiya transparent red and Alclad yellow would mix well. I figure what the hey...yellow close enough.

I am really not that big into aircraft builds but this I really like very much!
Love Tamiya armor kits and I guess Tam. aircraft kits are the same lovely quality.
You wrestled with the paint peeling off issue but hey,YOU WON!
So maybe it's not done yet,but have to say:
Well done,MP!

Well, here we go, got some decals on and the UD antenna
Actually took some bambo skewers and sanded them flat on both sides, leaving the general shape of the point and I still didn't get the shape right! It's that symmetry thing again with me.
More decals and then some light weathering. Thoughts, suggestions, comments always welcome!
