(Belated) thanks! Well, I have tried twice to go on (today is the second time), hoping to finish someday, but the putty tube is turning half liquid, and this was a complete failure... I will try again, but enthusiasm is low... :(

(Sigh of relief:) I have found an old tube of putty and this one is not half-liquid, so I have been able to start again! :)
On the picture, the dark spots and cowlings are the liquid-putty remainings... :(

Could be a Bonneville 'car', or a full on LSR candidate, the pre-war M-B T80 had wings.  ;D

I am ashamed to show the underside of my P-5151B... solid but ugly (and I do not plan to cover it with putty, just looking at it from above)... ??? :icon_crap:

With paint for a single color, this is a little less ugly... ???

I am glad the Twin-Mustang Car P-5151B is now born, finished (for my poor standards...):

Thanks!

Actually, this is what I do: first = most easy = drawing, then trying a little to turn it solid (without realism)...
