antonio argudo Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 I represented the Dynamotor for the SCR-522-A and the thin wall between the seat and tank although it won't be any visible at all once the rest of the elements will be installed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonio argudo Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Thanks Phil, keep those Mustang coming , cheers progres from today is the Instrument panel, used as reference guide the amazing work of John Terrell simulators, they are so accurate. Used mostly the Revell kit decals which are for the D-5 block, it's been a labor of love, had to cut each one independently to transfer to the panel, neck hurts but I'm satisfy, next is the seat cheers 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
