Nice start Mark on a unique kit and build. Will be following all the way.

Bill Looking mighty good. Nice way of sorting out the wing fillet and no question, you found the best approach. Surely wish in the AM & PEIP instructions, they would comment of the need to sand or file for a better fit - just saves time and a bit of frustration down the road.

Carl Nice progress on the Big Cat. It's amazing how we forget Tamiya fit wasn't always 'nearly perfect' as they improved their science and technology over the years, always raising the bar. Even their P-51D I'm building presently, which is a good few decades newer then the F-14, is nowhere in the ballpark of their incredible kits being designed and produced today.

John Of course I did 😉

John I'm front and center and will be following all the way. I'm torn between the schemes, ut to be different, I leaning towards the USAF cammo.

Kev Just being there and enjoying Mother Nature. is a reward unto itself.

Bill Looking good and glad you found the fix and everything is now as it should be.

Right with Paul This year I build the old 1970's vintage KIngfisher and it was a lot of fun and looks great in the display case.

Scott, looking good and nothing like learning as you go. My money is riding on you pulling it off.

Carl How true for the most part

Kev Enjoy and good luck, I'm an early riser as you but for photography. There is normally only four hours a day for the beautiful light: an hour before and after sunrise and the hour before and after sunset. Of course, you can photography any time of the day but it's not the same. During the day, I like to shoot B&W film, as shape and form is the key and of course, not color.

Guys It's OK about showing the work done on the Cavalier Mustang conversion but I agree with Martin, a better place would be a mini GB or Buddy Build so things don't get too confusing.

Martin, thank you and so very much appreciated. I just like to follow the instructions, have a few Kalinsky Reed Sable paint brushes to handle the painting and enjoy the journey.

Thanks Carl Maybe someday you will get the bug to build a few classic Mustangs, who knows. Just the fact the one you have is the donor kit for the Cavalier Mustang, is awesome and it's still a Mustang - just a different version and a bit more work involved then my OOB build. Looking forward to following.

Thanks Gaz Really enjoying the build and most likely you're right that working into my 'build schedule) a total of four 32nd scale Mustangs is a lot and it most likely will spill over into 2024. If it was John build lists, no worries at all.

John Looking so good and you're already to prime and paint - amazing.

Dave Awesome looking front office details and painting are top notch. Over the past year, I've become addicted to Quinta detail sets - so easy to use.

Much appreciated Mike. I'll be looking for all the old time western TV and movie stars to help handle the stampede.

Thanks Kev I'll work on the pics and up the resolution.📷 😉

John, very much appreciated. So far, just a wonderful, stress free build - totally enjoyable and satisfying. Have to admit, the Quinta details so easily brings the interior up to a whole new level, especially the IP.

Thanks Dave Just a pleasure to work on a Tamiya kit, as there just aren't any issues. Work carefully and follow the instructions and you're home free.

Kev Always new info coming - just seems at times it is overpowering.

Mike Just go at your own pace. if you cross the line before the end of the GB date, just keep going, the builds are a gems.

Kev For me, the killer and downfall has been trying to get the gear installed and it was a total failure. I've been taking notes on your build and it has helped with a lot of my questions and screwups. Any pics will be of great help, as I can always run them through photoshop.

Carl Nice progress on the Big cat - looking so good.
