In the case of the Cripes A'Mighty P-51, flown by Geroge Preddy, I found the story here:

At last some progress...

Cockpit area. The instructions miss how exactly the cockpit is built, so you have to make 2 or 3 tries. And when you already know how to insert the cockpit in the fuselage, the aft part is a little unclear on its place in relation with the back of the seat. At the end, you end up with a nice fit.

The whole cockpit area. For me the little swastikas were a good point of reference to put together these parts.

What I really like the most about this model is the blue color on it. I hope I won't mess it up.

Very nice Gerardo. I don't like the mustang very much but the build looks very clean.

¿Estas preparando una habitacion para poner todos estos modelos?

Thanks Alcides.
Luis is asking me if I will build a whole new room for my models. In fact is a... WHOLE NEW HOUSE!!! Really, God willing, in December. My better half is designing plastic boxes to be attached to a wall, kind of a galleria or something like that. (And she still waiting for her Currell's Titanic 150% size).
