stevej60 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Hi folk's finished after a good few months on the shelf of doom is Tamiya's well known boxing of Gentile's Shangri La.An easy hassle free build despite it being an oldish molding now it still towers above many newer kits for quality with only a bit of cursing around the larger decal's,I dark washed the underside but used a brownish wash for the upper panels(thank's Wolwe),graphite graphite powder for the gun and exhaust staining.Hope you like and thanks for taking the time to look.

Andy Dyck Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Oh yes I like very much! Weathering is very beautyful and not overdone! I remember this kit, building it many years ago! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Nice one, Steve Lovely subtle weathering on your Mustang which I personally prefer as I think too much weathering never looks right to me. Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Beautiful Mustang, Steve. Paint and decal job are spot on. ( Mine is still in my doom box by the way, the decals simply ceased to exist after they got wet ! ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
