Airfix 1/48 P-51D Mustang

Just a quick update to the Airfix P-51 cockpit. I resprayed the Eduard coloured etch first and using a paint brush moistened with Tamiya thinner wiped the green paint off the placards. 
I lightened the mix with some yellow and sprayed in between the panels to add some interest then oversprayed the entire cockpit with AK ultra matt varnish to deaden the shine of the Eduard coloured etch and to cover up the blobs of superglue.
I'll drop some Tamiya X-22 into the instrument dials to represent the glass and do some chipping with a silver pencil for some wear and tear, the cockpit floor will be given some brown chipping to represent some wear to the floorboards.
There are a couple more details to add yet but hopefully I'll be able to close up the fuselage soon;

Just a small update as I've been concentrating on the cockpit. I've been using an Eduard Zoom set for this and it is a pre-coloured one so most of the bits have been added after painting the cockpit colour...trouble is I hadn't given a thought to the fact it was a pre-coloured set and realised that the shade of interior green Eduard had chosen was a LOT lighter than the mix I had made..bugger!

You can see the difference better here (the Eduard bit is at the bottom and much lighter);

I still have the mix used for the cockpit colour so sometime this week I'll respray the Eduard bits then give the whole cockpit a coat of matt varnish as the coloured etch has too much of a shine for me, plus it will deaden the areas where I managed to blob superglue.
Once the matt varnish is dry I'll drop some Tamiya X-22 Clear into the instrument faces to represent the glass covers.
Of course before I do all this I need to add the HGW seatbelts as they'll be a laugh to fit and no doubt the paint on the seat will be damaged in the process.
