Thanks Mattias.  I will post a picture of the technique I used for getting
the wing angle, it involves using a hinge underneath the wing, and a
different type of hinge on top.

The markings are made using my inkjet and some Avery full sheet adhesive
backed paper.  The results are okay, I wish I had a better means for making
them though, as up close they don't look as good as I would like.

I hope to have more and better pictures after this weekend, I have ordered a
new 4 megapixel digital camera and some equipment for lighting and backdrop
so that my lego work can have better presentation.  My old olympus digital
camera just isn't cutting it anymore.  I may even have my A6M2 Zero done by
then.

Thanks again for the comments,

-Dave Jr.

MOC.Hi David

Congratulations to a fantastic model. Your model is the best Lego Mustang • I have
seen so far. You are setting a new standard here. I can also see that you • are
very familiar with this beautiful aircraft.

You must explain in more detail the construction of the dihedral of the • wings,
which is a key to modelling WW2 aircraft as you mention.

The markings (or decals) are they home made or have you used some • commercially
available? A last question: What is the scale of the model?

I really look forward to more detailed pictures of this fine model and • also to
more creations of yours.

Regards from Goteborg Sweden

Mattias
