| Well at this time i'm building a Revell 1969 kit P-51B Mustang of Don Gentile's Shangri-La 1:32 scale.
Kit is all built up and painted and it's waiting fo me to put the decals on it.
One problem the decals might shatter because they are so old i have the decal stuff called Micro-Sol decal Ex-Strength setting solution that i will be trying later on.

I'm working on the same 1/32 P-51B, but mine is Beeson's "Bee". I wanted "Shangri-La" as it was the one I did when I was 12, but couldn't find it on E-bay when I got the hankering to build it. I'm down to adding the last few "fiddly bits" and it'll be done. Just gotta find a place to store these big boys. . . .
A suggestion on the decals - scan them before you tryto use them, then if they come apart, you can buy some decal paper and print them out again. Wal-Mart sells a Testor's decal set that comes w/a couple of small pieces of paper, and the spray can of film to go over them. You can also use it on pre-printed decals to protect them if you think they might come apart, but be prepared to have to let them soak a lot longer before the decal comes off the paper.
Other models currenlty in progress: Tamiya 1/48 "Shangri-La", P-47D Razorback, and another F4U Wildcat. I also have several 1/72 scale a/c in various stages of completeness, including but not limited to a P-39, P-51, SBD, Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr 7, etc.
I tend to work on whatever strikes my fancy at the moment - that way I don't get burned out on any one project.
