I agree with Gorby!👍 🙂
(But hey dude, what happened to the windscreen and is it possible that you miss the starboard landing gear hatch?)

haha no it just fell but it is already in its proper place again 🙂 and the windscreen i had noticed and have to fill with putty and paint again , i'm not sure why this happened because when dry fitted it was good
Unfortunately i cannot finish this mustang because i made a mistake and destroyed the fusellage US insignia roundel ... shame on me 🙁 🙁 ... so i need to find a compatible pair
Apart from that it is almost complete, will spray a light gloss varnish coat and then apply the paneliners and washes
this was a project started some time ago so it is really good to finally be able to wrap the project and put it on display

You are right Barkhorn, put her on display, the roundels can wait!

they sure can, i am eager to clear all these started but unfinished projects to give me enough space to start 2 new builds and to restore a 1:18 diecast jaguar type E as a Shaguar

Pretty sure I can find a couple of P-51D fuselage roundels from the spares box. Send me a PM if you want them.
