This will be the final scheme. P-51 "Miss Suzi Q" was owned by a pilot named Ken Burnstine. He used to compete with it at the Reno air races in the 70's. In 1976, while flying over the race coarse he attempted a Split S maneuver. Unfortunately his misjudged the required altitude and bought the farm on the second roll.

My attempt at painting wood-grain looks more like tiger camo to me.

Think I got my method for instrument panels down. I actually cut the individual instrument out from the sheet in the box and pasted them to a thin cardboard panel of my own. Then I cut another panel from a slide projector sheet. I cut out some small circles over where the gauges would show through. Then I painted over it and bingo. Gives it that glass gauge look in the light.
