From front, red, green, orange/yellow. They are ID lights. (I assume you are referring to the 3 underwing lights.)

Gonna be a winner Gaz! And think of all the little details we are learning about the '109!

Coming along well Chris. I've always liked the one's with black undersides.

Thank you Chris. I appreciate the nice comments!

LOL Thanks Peter. So far so good in spite of the little "problems". I'll shoot some clear gloss in prep for decaling shortly.

Lots of progress. Those stripes would certainly negate any camouflage!

Well done Bill! Looks good!

Yep, it seems that way. Always something to have to contend with. 😐

Thank you Ralph. I don't recall for certain where I got them but I think it was Aerocraft. Model Monkey has them too. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/category/1-32nd?page=2 https://www.model-monkey.com/

Unpleasant surprise! Was masking off the red nose and this happened. Always something........😐

Thank you Gaz. I hope it will be worth the effort!

Coming along well Peter. Won't be long now!

Thank you Peter. It's worked out pretty well so far!

Thanks Martin! I agree, the new nose makes quite a difference and now it LOOKS like a "B".

Thank you Carl. Now it's on to the wings which should be straight forward, etc.

Thanks Bill. So far I'm pleased with it.

The nose is on, seams filled and sanded, primer applied. I'll need to do a bit of scribing but it looks like a P-51B to me!

Yes it is Peter. Still a ways to go on this one but I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks Peter. The Revell nose is much better in several ways. The plastic is not nearly as thin and flexible as the Tamiya which is a big help in checking fit, etc. Seemed the Tamiya parts were always moving out of place when I was handling the kit and trying to get everything sorted out. Another thing is there's no need for the engine to be mounted which is a big help also. Just all around mo betta!

Thank you Hubert. I agree! Looks like a P-51B for sure.

Nose in place! Now to sand out the seams, etc.

Yes I do have some decals. Deacon Hively's a/c, 4th FG. OD/Gray w/invasion stripes. Taken from a old Aeromaster sheet, re-scaled to 1/32 and printed out on my laser printer.

Just about ready to attach the nose halves. I added some strip styrene pieces for a better "grip".

Thank you Carl. It looks to be coming along okay now (knock on wood!). I think the Revell nose will be a even better subject to use.

LOL Peter! Me too!
