Thank you Pete chap. I airbrushed on a thin coat of gloss clear to get the oil pinwash flow better. I used burnt umber and ultramarine blue. Before I move on with the oils this has to dry and then it will be coated with Testors Dullcote to enhance the grip of the oil pigments onto the surface.  |

Thank you friends! Today I fiddled on with the oils. I mixed vivid colours and I went for contrasts   |

Superb work Guy. I'm feeling very guilty now as the pilot is nearly always the first part to hit my spares box...  |

Wow, I never realised the cockpit floor of a Mustang was made out of wood, cool! And you got to love the fact that Uncle Tamiya includes pilote figures in their kits. A small tad of extra detailing and done! Lovely paintwork in progress on the fellow.

Yep----the P-51B, C, D (and the K too?) had a wooden floor whereas the early Ponies like the A-36 and P-51A had a metal floor which was actually the top of the wing. By directive, they were supposed so slap some kind of black anti-skid coating on those wood floors on those later Ponies but in wartime you know how that goes. |

Priceless info on the P-51, thanks brotha. |
