Lovely model, beautifuly weathered, and great phototgraphy too.

Thankyou everyone for your kind words. Hi Toryu I've never done a Group Build before, a little intimidating I think!

Just finished this Tamiya 1/32 P-51D Mustang. (This Tamiya model can be shown as a flying model with wheels removed, undercarriage closed etc. Things are held magnetically, and some parts slide on and off!) Features the 334th Fighter squadron, 4th Fighter Group Mustang. There is a link here to the actual plane http://www.americanairmuseum.com/person/156029

Really love this diorama, brilliantly constructed and painted. Fantastic sense of energy, movement and drama! The figure dragging the wounded GI out of the water is my favourite mini scene.

Absolutely agree Resin are the best. Yes it can be disappointing all the effort required to make good a plastic figure but the moulds are still disappointing.

In 1/35 scale Stalingrad figures are always worth a look.

There is'nt a more beautiful aircraft in my opinion! Looks amazing.

Straight out of the box, Zvezda kit. Just a bit of fun, photo background courtesy of computer screen image.

Very very impressive!

This is going to be amazing! Yes I like your painting style too. It seems you exaggerate the shadows and highlights on the figures very effectively. If you're still looking for added interest on the beach (and there is a lot of interest already), how about including a shell hole? or will you include a shell explosion in the water? (Using water is one thing I've yet to try). I've been to Normandy a few times and its well worth the visit!

I thought the 'whites of the eyes' should be painted a skin colour? To me that gives a good result.

Love it. Very good. The eyes could be 'corrected' with a very simple additon of a dark line just cutting the eyes from above almost in 1/2.

Great work. Love your explanations! What took you so long sitting the aeroplane under the upper wing?

Thanks Viking the way to paint the cowling was provided by WNWings themselves on their website. Lots of useful info there including hints and tips. The cowling was done with 2 different enamel paints. The base in Aluminium I think and by brush silver was painted.

Thanks OutcastJoel. The metal plate on the wing under cockpit was a photoetch piece provided by WNW. They are great models. Zero tolerances however. Cant have paint on the fitting surfaces otherwise the fit is too tight! Rigging is easy with EZ line but challenging with flat wire which British planes usually require. RB productions however provide the necessary flat wire rigging.
