On with the shiney plane ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) You get a choice of ordanance with this kit i.e. bombs, rockets & I thought I'd go with the rockets. There the little ones you see on WWII documentaries of planes on board cameras launching rocket against tanks, very effective indeed. Anyway in order to put the rockets under the wings you have to drill out the locating holes for the rocket carriers ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/11P51.jpg) ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/12P51.jpg) While I've got you in here a close up off the detail in this kit, not just in the wheel housings but the sunken panel lines & rivet detail too ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/13P51.jpg) More soon

Fixed the wings in place ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/14P51.jpg) ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/15P51.jpg) Got the rocket carrier fitted one side as these will be painted the same colour as the plane (silver) ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/16P51.jpg) Cleaned up 5 rocket too, these will be painted seperate and added at the end ![](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj201/Robbo64/P-51/17P51.jpg)

Mustang's coming along nicely! Good choice on the rockets, will give it some visual variety on the wing underside for sure.
