Hobby Boss P-51 Mustang in RAF Colors

 the cockpit is very simple (which is passable since when you put the canopy on it wouldn't be very visible when you look at it from the outside)




prop pix down below...some flash which is a bit normal but I actually was surprised since the 1st Hobby Boss kit I got which was the Corsair didn't have too much flash...







how it looks when the canopy is on...


a thing is I didn't notice about this when I bought it, some scratches on the canopy glass...well since it's a 1/72 a/c...it wouldn't be that visible and it adds to the realism, real canopies aren't that smooth...




need to fill these gaps...














since the control stick was a bit thick, I've gone ahead and sanded it a bit as well...
