Early Mustang - P-51 with 20mm cannons


After the Panther wanted something simple so picked out the Ace P-51. This is the early cannon armed Allison Engined Mustang. The ACE kit is a Korean boxing of the Accurate Miniatures kit, and is nice and simple


As is normal work starts with the cockpit - first the instrument panel


Then built up the cockpit and sidewalls


Fitted the fuselage halves together then slotted the instrument panel in from the front


Finally fitted the Allison engine nose, and filled the small gaps with some Mr Dissolved Putty, then sanded back
