Even doing a kit bash nose job like this your work is not only impeccable but fast.

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.

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

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. :)

Good call... the nose looks like a perfect fit and a much better choice then the Tamiya nose.

Nice choice for the markings as well.

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! :)

It's a good feeling when things fall together rather then fighting an uphill battle.

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. :)

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! :)

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