Wow Ryan, that is a beautiful P51. I can't believe you built it in 12 months. Look forward to the flight video.

Thank you, everyone, for all of the accolades. I am amazed myself that I even built this bird. I think it all boils down to patience, perseverance and a touch of OCD  . This build certainly had it's ups and downs as I did some experimenting with a chrome paint exterior which in the end didn't pan out and a lot of redo of the fuselage finish. No venture, no gain. In the end the pristine refurbished look that I was going for with a silver painted fuse matches the full scale that I was copying anyway.
Here is a picture of what could have been if the chrome had worked out.
