viperchief Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Here is my "what if" Thunderbird Mustang. The kit was much fun to build. I used Warbird Decals, MRP white, Testors MM Insignia Red for the spinner/touch up and Tamiya X-22 & MLT for the clear coat. This is my first go at using such a large decal set...made some mistakes but learned some things along the way too! They were a little tricky but several applications of Solvaset and the use of a hairdryer made them comply. I decided not to use a panel wash as the kit panel lines seem to show up just fine as is. Thanks for looking! Edited October 14, 2017 by viperchief 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave N Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Wow... that's probably the best build I've seen of Airfix's Mustang. Kudos for very convincing treatment of the clear parts.. that's a great looking scheme too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Not so much a "what if " as a "what should have been"! That's one of the best of the genre I've seen, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Oooh, do I like that. Lovely job, and the airframe wears that artwork beautifully. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I nearly didn't open the post, because I don't like "what-ifs", but im so glad I did because it looks just right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Definitely one of the prettiest P-51's you'd ever see. I concur with you about the panel lines - showing just nicely without need of a wash. Superb job all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
