You'r job looks fantastic !!!
I'm in a hurry to see it finished.
The wing was completely puttied, except the armament and fuel fillers' panels and on the underside the wing tank panels which retains even the riveting.
It was the case for B, C, D and K models (wonder about the H). I'm not sure for early version Mustang MkI, Ia and P-51, P-5A and A-36 Apache. That should be checked.
So indeed, you should also remove panel lines except those mentionned above.
It may looks a little bit "bizarre" but it will be 100% realistic.
PS : the paint used on wings was less shiny as the rest of the cell left in NMF.
Also, if you want to "weather" a little bit your wings, you may take in account that the wings received a coat of Yellow Zinc Chromate primer before the steel shade paint.
