Talking with Martin we decided to open this research thread on the Cavalier Mustangs. Particularly regarding the color(s) Cavalier used in the cockpits. Important to know when building the Halberd conversion. Stay tuned.

The other is Peruvian Dave.

If you meant the light gray Bolivian bird with the shark mouth then that is the one I've decided on.

Thanks Hubert. Right now that is the one I guess I'll do. Nice and colorful.

The postman just delivered my Halberd Cavalier F-51 set. VERY nice detail work and great looking decals. I'll get started on this very shortly but I'm torn between doing the USAF marked bird or the non-camouflaged Bolivian bird. Both appeal to me so we will see! This Aerofax book has some good photos and info on Latin American Mustangs.

I've been using Roy's stuff for a long time. Always 1st class.

Thanks Paul. I'm glad you like the results of my "labor" LOL.

Thanks Martin!

Thank you Gaz! Something a little different this time.

I have one set aside for the Halberd Cavalier conversion Carl. My USPO tracking says it should show up in the next few days. Now we need to get Peter to do one too!

Thanks Gaz. Nope, no Russians.

LOL Dave! Not a problem!

Thanks Dave. Yes, I'm afraid so. They all are short. 🤪 I'd recommend getting this reference.

Ready for paint!

Agreed!!!

Thank you! I appreciate that.

LOL "Very nice" doesn't come close Peter. More like OUTSTANDING! Well done.

LOL 😂

I just have plenty of time to build nearly every day Peter.

Nearly ready for some paint. I'm waiting for a canopy mask set first which is supposed to show up tomorrow.

LOL 🤪

Plug in place. A little scribing of panel lines and it should be good to go.

Thanks Peter. It was a bear to build alright (it's the sand colored "Devastating Devil" model).

Thanks Peter. Six including one terrible Kitty Hawk kit. Here they are: (I don't think I've left any out!)
