This weeks update. First time at several things during this build. Scribing with dymo tape on a model and not scrap styrene, re-drilling holes that are supposed to be there that I sealed up, camo masking....YEEEHAAA....with blue tac (white stuff in my case) and painting camo period. Never did that before and although it's nowhere close to perfect I did get a kick out of it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm all ears. My plan was to very lightly, with a very high grit sand paper, buff down the ridge to smooth again. I'll need to register where the roundel lines up so I can cover this gaff up with the decal. Actually now that I think about it maybe I'll do the sanding thing then by hand touch up any areas that extend past the roundel. Ideas?

For this paint job I matched the color call outs from this source.

The bottom 6 Mustangs on screen appear to use the same colors. Ocean Grey/Dark Green on the upper surface and Medium Sea Grey downstairs. The Ocean Grey has a definite blue hue to it that doesn't appear in any references I've seen. Anyway belly color is next perhaps on Sunday.
Then it's a little Future with the AB and decal time. I can smell dinner cookin'.
