Hello everyone,
I started assembling this Eduard kit:

to make the P-51K-10 Mustang flown by Lt.Col. William M. Banks (July 1945 - Ie ShimaJP)

Excellent start on a cool subject, Rodolfo  :smiley:

Interesting sprue shots too - especially that circular clear sprue.

Fantastic start, Rodolfo!  :smiley:

Is the cushion padding the seat back part of the kit, or an addition?  ???

The circular clear sprue is very common on Eduard kits.

Looking superb! Doesn’t look like an avalanche of tiny parts to drive a guy nuts. I’ll be watching this one.

Cool! I'm guessing that this Eduard's method for reducing short-shots?

That round sprue could be very useful in some kind of sci fi whiff.
That cockpit looks very nice!

It is an addition that I made with Super Sculpey Green Stuff, but ... out of laziness, I made a mistake because I didn't bake it in the oven and the pillow crumbled a little.  :icon_crap:

That's not a mistake! It's wear & tear from usage!  ;)
