Once test fitting and alignment, I install the completed cockpit into the LH fuselage half. The fit is perfect even with the PE enhancements. Next to assemble the fuselage. The fit again is excellent. Next the nose upper panel is installed. Don't know what else to say how well the parts on this kit fit. Next the lower intake lip is installed under the nose. Seam clean up is a matter of a couple of swipes with some wet and dry the fit is quite excellent. Next are the wings, first to drill out the holes for the rockets. Install the landing gear bay. Snap fit into the fuselage, install the upper wing panels and glue in place. Again I don't remember the last time how clean the fit was around the wing to fuselage join and fillet. It is excellent. Had to work the 190's and the Spits a bit to make the fit clean, again on the Mustang almost flawless. The Mustang is coming along quite well. Next the tailplanes were installed, again good fit here and the bomb racks. Next up to seal the seams and prep for the NMF finish. More to follow
