drhornii Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Building a local Mustang, started a month ago. Having to modify the cockpit to match Ike's plane by adding a different pilot seat and add a back seat. Also needed to add a second throttle & oxygen regulator for the back seat.

drhornii Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 What she should look like (less eggish) What she looks like now. The real airplane is painted silver so I tried to find the closest match. I went with Floquils "Ols Silver" and had to darken it slightly. Waiting on decals from Draw Decals to continue.

drhornii Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Decals are on. Greg at Draw Decals did a remarkable job making these, kudos to Greg! Note, Ike removed the number 50 on the tail but it is still under the wing. Edited April 27, 2012 by drhornii Quote Link to post Share on other sites
