Cheshiretaurus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Airfix P51D new tool ki built almost OOB with just a couple of tweeks. - Drop tanks in this kit do not have the characteristic seam line so the were made from 0.3mm Plastruct square rod. - One tank corrected so both have the filling point on the left. - 0.3mm round rod used as the actuator in the radiator cooling duct. - Tamiya tape harness. - Arial in the kit was so badly moulded it was replace with one made with plastic strip. - Upper engine access panel centre line was scribed with its screws marked in. - The red nose decal was discarded and a mask cut on a Silhouette cutter traced from a scan of the decal sheet, same with the yellow wing stripes. - Painted in Humbrol enamel with the paint numbers given by the kit except Alclad 106 White aluminium used for the NMF with the shade altered on some panels by mixing it with gloss black enamel. - Flap retraction areas were finished using chrome baremetal foil. - Underwing lights made by adding a little CA into the recess allowing it to set in a concave shape. aluminium foil was then glued into the recess and finished with blob of appropriate Tamiya clear colour. - Decals applied with MicroSol & MicroSet. - Flory Black & grime Washes. - Model was given a coat of Humbrol Gloss Cote prior to decals, washes and oil dot weathering then matted with Humbrol Matt Cote. - Intention was to use no aftermarket however after the landing light was lost to the carpet monster a Little lights replacement had to be used. A very nice kit that fits together very well and required virtually no filler except just a few spots of disolved sprue in just a few places. Did you spot the damaged bit?....No?....Good.
