Where I have got to tonight, I have the Mustang fuselage trapped in Lego ready to have it's tail off.

[Flyer]

Tails are off both the Mustang and the Boomerang, shouldn't have made the cuts so late at night/early morning as they are waaay off so much putty will need to be used, not fussed about it, there was going to be a lot needed to get the profile right anyway, but I was hoping for a flush join, not a 2-3mm gap at the top!

Wasn't that an early Kylie Minogue hit ?

Can you put yourself in The Book.........?

Having the gap is actually a blessing in disguise, I have the Boomerang tail attached at the bottom and the gap allows some wiggle room for getting it into alignment.

Was hoping to get some putty onto it tonight but I didn't get there, hopefully in the next few days, but there is quite a lot going on right now so I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

As and when, mate! All good!

Just by doing a couple minutes here and a few there over the span of the day I actually made some good progress, still need to put some putty on the underside of the Boomerang tail to match the squared off Mustang fuselage but so far no putty needed, just some scrap plastic in the gap, sanding and adding glue to the dust build up, repeated 3 or 4 time's has got it to this.

That is looking bizarre but interesting. I like what you've done so far!

As do I

Mustangerang now has it's wing's. Hoping to get some filler into the wing root's and fuselage join today.

Started on a second Boomerang with modifications, photos of that soon hopefully. Also I've gathered some parts to make a start on version 2 of my Boomerang II, it doesn't have much in common with my first version other than it's a jet powered flying wing...

[Flyer]

Most of the filling has been done and now for the SR part of PSR before some more P. The wheel fairings and trailing edge fillets have been done since this photo.

[Old Wombat]

Nice start! Keep up the good work, mate!

Thats a nice combination which looks good.
 

Moorabin Aircraft Museum has for years had a Kittystang on display - P51 wings on a P40 fuselage.  I keep meaning to have a go and see how easy it would be to make one in styrene.

Thanks fellas 

I must say that it is looking better than my mind's eye seen, so that's a great outcome so far.

Go for it 
I've got the Stang wing's and tail to put onto something else still, probably something jet like your F-16 combo...

The other Boomerang that I've started on may give a few issues to overcome, if it gets too messy I may abandon it. I've only gotten it's donor engine's together so far, I'm less than impressed with the fit and molding of those but it's what I've got to use so they will do. It looks the part in my mind but only time will tell. I wasn't aware that different boxing's were better than others, the kit I am using for this is one of the better ones in darker grey plastic so I hope I don't end up wasting it with this...
