A little more done on this test build...
fitting the Tail stabilizer. I never noticed but there are no markings for the cutout for the horizontal stabilizer spar (former). Not a big deal really, the position of the stabilizer wings is marked and the spar needs to fit where there is enough room. If I can get a measurement, I'll put a rough cutting location on the model.  ... also started putting the Wing root fairings in place. Preform the fairing into the concave shape it needs. Position the rear of the fairing, with the back end of the wing. Glue it down, small sections at a time, working forward slowly and easing it into shape. Sometimes the front needs a trim, depending on how you got the fairing to lay down. This fairing is designed to wrap beyond the wing, under the fuselage to help cover the seam between the wing and fuselage. I've done these before, so they shouldn't be too much trouble. (Although these are tricky on any paper model) ...and I have already glued them into the wrong position! lol Thats what you get for rushing! I'll leave them in place rather than risk tearing the fuselage, but I think they should have been about 1-2mm higher on the fuselage.

Last update for this RAF Mustang!...
Fairings done. I decided to leave the fairings as they are...its up to the builder to trim the leading edge to match the wing and paint scheme. This way, there is enough material to compensate for getting the fairings slightly out of place. Its best to line up the fairing with the trailing edge of the wing (after the Wing is installed) and then wrap and trim the fronts to fit best.   ... So, thats it for this plane. A couple of photos below. This was primarily a test build build along with Gerardo's build of Jeesil Peesil (which is also finished - see below). I didn't need to build the Landing gear or Propellors (since they haven't been changed). I did install the new cockpit, but I didn't bother with a clear canopy. So, now I am just finishing up the covers and packages. And the kits should be ready for release sometime later this weekend!    ... I'm sure Gerardo is updating his own threads for this build, but heres a couple of photos that I will be using for the store listing. This is Lt. Frank Gailer's Jeesil Peesil Mommy (357th FG)  Another nice build build by Gerardo for me and hopefully Mr Gailer will enjoy it too when he gets to see it this month!   ... These two builds finish the beta tests of the new and improved Mustang B/C kit. Now, I am ready to add a few more planes to the catalog. As I mentioned before, I am considering redoing some of my older kits (if there is a demand) but I will definitely be focusing on new models to add to the collection.

Important News....
if you have any interest in my original Red Tail Mustang models... I will soon be discontinuing the current Tuskegee Airmen Red Tail Mustangs P-51B/C models. Some of the first P-51 Mustangs I created from the original Marek model were an assortment of "Red Tail" Mustangs. These were all B and C model Mustangs. I created INA The Macon Belle a P-51C, a complete 1/33 scale model and then I created three "Variant Packs", each containing the necessary parts to convert the Macon Belle model into four more Tuskegee Airmen Aircraft. (Thats a total of thirteen Red Tail P-51B/C models) See the models here: Paper Model Shop Aviation Paper Models - P51 MUSTANG USA These first generation B/C Mustang models have been through a number of changes and just recently some major modifications were made to the A,B and C model Mustangs. New textures and colours, new Landing Gear components, a complete redraw of the model template and the addition of a complete cockpit... creating what I will call the 2nd generation model. I have been producing new Mustangs with the "new" template, but I had hoped to update some of the first generation models. However since there are just too many to choose from, I couldn't decide which ones were in demand and so I decided to wait until I got any serious requests for specific models. However I did release an update kit, for those who have purchased the first gen Mustangs, that includes the cockpit kit and other modifications (for the first gen model). also can be seen here: Paper Model Shop Aviation Paper Models - P51 MUSTANG USA My personal interest in the Tuskegee planes has prompted me to create a 2nd gen version of INA The Macon Belle. However, once I replace the existing Macon Belle model, the Variant Packs will no longer be usable and will have to be removed from the shops. In their place, I will be recreating some of them, if not all, using the 2nd gen template. Any Red Tail Mustangs produced from this point will be released as individual kits...in other words, no more multiple aircraft variant Packs. If you like the look of the first gen models or are interested in grabbing the multiple model variant packs, now is the time to do so. Or if you are interested in a specific Red Tail Mustang aircraft, or Pilot, let me know what it is. Otherwise please stay tuned for the 2nd gen Tuskegee Airmen Mustang kits.
