djos Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Hi to all Never ending story finally come to end...model finished last year. Even i have 2 Academy P51a i decide to do something with very old and inaccurate Italeri kit. So i used wings from Revell kit and merge them with Italeri body, transfer guns from Italeri, fill old and made new lending lights, add camera in behind pilot seat...and some other bits... So my Frankenstein plane finished. Lot of details should be correct to get better, or more correct plane, but this is all what i was ready to do this time. Camouflage....artistic approach to war by captain Paul Hexter. This scheme was never adopted in operations, reason - to complex for maintenance. First, original: Now...images, and thanks for looking. Best regards Edited October 22, 2016 by djos 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very odd indeed. Wouldn't look out of place aboard a splinter camo flat top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Cracking build, I love the paint work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry V Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Great job! Love the paint, something totally out of the norm, very subtle weathering. I would love to have something like that in my collection - just might steal this idea Edited October 22, 2016 by Jerry V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vh-bob Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well done, a great scheme. Trev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 A real eye-opener! That unique scheme must have been a tedious masking effort but it all paid off in the end. Superb paint job! The ground attitude looks a bit 'stilty', maybe unavoidable when making a Frankenstein. ;-) Possibly, the main gear legs could do with a bit of forward rake? Excellent and rewarding modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo1112 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Sorry but I don't like those attempts of camouflage. I find the lines of those beautifully designed aircraft are completely ruined!!! But it is only my thoughts ! Every one can think what he wills ! But it's a pity, the beautiful lines of the Mustang are completely destroyed.
