So the long waited update is here

I primed the mustang cockpit parts together using black primer


and today I painted up the parts using my custom mixture for us cockpit green






so tonight I painted up the small bits and dry brushed it. I proceed to glue the cockpit to the body




I also gave it a dark wash before I close the cockpit




So with the fuselage glue together the mustangs looks like this for the moment






Thats all for todays update will see you soon
