Thanks Chris. There actually is a camo scheme on this Mustang so I need to mask off for that and AB on the next color. Then there is a lighter grey for the tummy of the plane and a yellow stripe on the leading edge of the wings. I'll be up to my earballs with paint before decals.

MP there is a photo of this kit built up on the bottom of the box and from that I can see the aft hole is still there. I'll keep the holes because they no longer bother me. The technique of masking for camo I've never done before so that's what I'm really looking forward too. New things to try my hand at....looking forward to it.
