    Paul,

    I'm not a wingy person either, but that looks fine to me.

      Looks very nice, especially for someone who "likes to dabble every now and then"?

        I think what helped was the quality of the kit........the one thing i hate about plane kits is how much filler you need to use and all the sanding....especially the wing roots and fuselage seams....but this went together without much of that

          Nicely finished ?

          I'm fancying one of these myself so good to know it bolts together well.

                Good result Paul. Your Mustang looks smart in the post war scheme.

                        Very nice. I have one of the Airfix P-51s on the stash. Pleased to hear this has gone together well.
