Thank you my friends!

Ok, more to the Mustang.

The internal structures of the wings got inserted into the wings themselves,
and then attached to the body of the airplane.

You will have to forgive me, but I got into the thrill of keep on building non-stop,
and missed to take photos of how I made the wheels and canopy. Enough to say
that I used Dave's design without any addition to the original.

I'm using Tamiya tape almost all the time to keep pieces together on gluing.

The auxiliary tanks also were pretty straight forward. No issues there. I attached
the tanks to the wings according to the photos of the original Mustang,
as there are no marks on the wings where to glue the tanks. So, for the record,
they go between the 2nd and 3rd gun muffler on each wing.

Just a few details before I can call this complete.

Gerardo can you send me some photos please, so I can make a few adjustments.

1. a photo that shows the fit of the wing root fairing (left side) at the front.
I'm concerned about how the green/silver paint looks.

2. a photo from underneath, of the tail section. (showing the black and white stripes)
I am concerned about the alignment of all those stripes.

The wing pylon is marked...but I forget to lighten the gray colour.
Its there, but it doesn't print against the black.
(Look at the model file and you will see it! Its almost invisible. lol)
I have fixed it.

Nice work on the Mustang Gerardo.

I knew Jack Ilfrey before he died. Do we have a P-38 in his markings? He really loved the P-38.
