That's a very nice bit of cockpit work Kari - very nicely done!

Thanks Mike!
Thanks Stuart!
Thank you John, I truly value your words, but without your build (which I find very nice) I would never have had the energy to start the build!

Re: Kari's bench 2021 -->
Work goes on rather smoothly. I have started to have some challenges with fits.
Nevertheless, the build starts to look like a P-51D.
But I had an annoying mishap with masking the canopy...
Who on earth makes these kind of instructions??
When I had masked the inside of the canopy, I only realized that the interior masks are "below" and the exteriors "above" on the masking sheet. I bet I am not the only one who made this mistake.. Not really user friendly.
Let's see what next!

Re: Kari's bench 2021 -->
That's annoying but I'm sure you'll get it sorted!
It's looking great!

Main paintwork ongoing, have been black basing / priming the fuselage, except the front that will be yellow.
Read somewhere that lime green is actually a good primer for yellow, so will try that. Looks sort of good with a lime green cowling, spinner etc

Re: Kari's bench 2021 -->
I'll be interested to see how the yellow turns out over a lime green base. I have had good luck using white or yellow zinc chromate as a base for yellow myself."Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."

Agreed, that looks a really interesting method.

I haven't seen that one before. Can't wait to see it.
