Hobby Boss P-51 Mustang in RAF Colors

preparing to paint...used elmer's glue to fill the gap on the wing root (not effective...but this was the 1st time I have to fill a gap and I didn't want to use putty...it may ruin the details near the root)











masking for the upper paint scheme



finished painting the RAF Ocean Grey

since I messed up with the decals on my Corsair...I ordered through a friend Gunze's Mr. Mark Softener and Mr. Mark Setter, Tamiya's RAF Ocean Grey and Medium Sea Grey and some paints for my Dragon 1/350 Gearing and Academy's 1/72 FW-190
