This picture clearly illustrates the type of highly polished finish I had in mind. This photo also shows to good effect how the fuselage is left in its all-polished metal but the wings were puttied and painted silver. A fact not many people are aware.

Before any reasonably series build is to take place, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do some research, even if the subject matter is the famous (& common) P-51 Mustang. My goal is to finish the model in highly polished natrual metal & done up as Big Beautiful Doll.

THen I added another 1/32" piece , twice the length of the first one, filled and sanded, and then sanded the outside ends again. I removed about 3/32" from the outside ends. Now they have compound curves and are drying overnight after gessoing.

I glued a beveled piece of 1/32" stock on the inside of the curved pieces, added filler and sanded smooth. I then sanded the outside of the pieces so that they were equal from center to edge.
