So the long waited update is here

I primed the mustang cockpit parts together using black primer
Image

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

Image

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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

Image

Image

Thats all for todays update will see you soon
