stevej60 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Hi folks, a little Mustang picked up for a couple of quid from Aldi ages ago and as I had the decals and spare's from the F-51 in a box as a bit of a break from 1/48 I decided to do a Dominican operated machine which according to the instruction's was still on charge in 1984.I dropped the wing and tail flaps by gently scoring the panel lines remembering to alternate the wing aileron's,as I said a week long fun build in a scheme I didn't really like until I applied it I think the Mustang suits a more modern camoflage scheme,thanks for looking in and apologies for the poor light sadly we seem to be having a second winter up here!

Artie Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Wow,,,,That's a bit nice model, Steve.....Very unusual colour scheme, wich adds a lot of interest to a plane we're used to see in the usual NMF. cheers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Very nice Steve, I like the look of that with the modern camouflage scheme, and as I've said before when commenting on your work - I really like your modelling style, because you lean more towards a clean build with a little subtle weathering and less towards the modern trend of weathering the hell out of everything just for the sake of it, which I really don't like!! WTG Steve, good stuff, keep it up!! Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nachtwulf Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Pretty! I think you are right the Mustang does look good in a modern camo scheme, and a fun build is the best kind in my opinion. Well done! disclaimer: My opinion has been used with permission from the Mrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 good looking Macho Mustang there! some nice diversion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Steve , an excellent build of a long serving Mustang. I am mightily impressed with the way you have done the upper / lower demarcation on the fuselage cammo. If you haven't done so already, check out the Mayan Gods and Macho Mustangs decal sheets from Aztec decals via Hannants website. Don't stop now, Trev. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Beautiful Mustang! This is the very scheme I had wanted to do, and seeing your fine model, I'm certain I'll do this scheme. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Many thanks folk's very kind,I did notice now we are a few years down the line from this kits release the smaller parts are getting a lot of flash on them the kits radio post etc were unusable and the U/C legs were strangely warped shame as it's a nice little kit otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
