The model looks great. The wings look like they came out pretty good too. The Dell P-51 uses tabs at the leading edge too and it was a nightmare to get them curved properly. I went through two sets of wings on that model before I finally got it to look decent. You've done a really good job on those wings, especially at that scale.

i got it printed out at office max ..because my printer took a dive.. and it came out brownish... but it still looked good after i weathered it up and added lots of battle damage

Although most OD examples I've seen in museums, that claim accuracy in their a/c restorations, do show a brownish/yellowish cast to the OD paint scheme. Many OD paint jobs tend towards having too much blue in the OD paint, making it lean towards a brighter green. Like you said though, nothing a little oil and grease wash can't fix.

I haven't had good luck having things printed at Office Max either....Way back when I had them print a panzer tank kit and it actually came out purple...Way off from the dark panzer grey that it actually should have been.

I've had good luck with prints from Fedex/Office/Kinko's - except for the price: $1.50 a sheet on their glossy paper. :( Buck a sheet if you bring your own paper.

Makes me kind of sick to say it, but I've given up on this build. I am just not happy with it - both the kit and my work. Maybe I've just built too many planes. Anyway, this one's out of the contest. Sorry for any inconvenience. :o
