Mustata (3rd life of a P-51D)

Uh, if this is a question "what (a hell) are you doing?", see at the top of this page 2.

But there are holes remaining, and that will need putty once (or twice) more. I must wait to receive the extra tubes for this. The parcel is delayed because of the missing Su-27 1/144 in the same invoice (to avoid postage payment, reaching the bargain total...)

Thanks!
