@Habu12, what was the paints and process you used for these two beauties? This is exactly how I would like mine to turn out.
Oh man...ummm...I honestly forgot, it was years ago now...
I think it was TMM enamel RAF Dark Green, and RAF Medium Sea Gray. I preshade with Mr. Surfacer Black 1500, and add the base colors on top, varying for effect. Then I weathered the stains with Tamiya weathering sets A,B,C,D after a coat of Dullcote. Then I add another coat of Dullcote to seal it.Â

Very nice Mustang. Is the nose checkerboard painted or a decal?
Decal. Went on with no issues. đđź

Am I reading this correctly? You have to cut the wings to change the parts to the earlier smooth L/E? So I am guessing that Airfix haven't moulded a new wing or engineered it so that the L/E was separate? Hmm.

Yup. The new leading edges are on the outboard panels of the wings. This was pretty evident I. The F.6 release, as the cutaway lines were already molded in.Â

My come at about this kit are nondoffeeent from the F.6, really. Except for the leading edge. It does take some work. Itâs not a drop in, but that does somewhat depend on the cut you make. Even a perfect cut out will still take a little work. But nothing most of canât handle. I did have to add thin shims to it, and it turned out alright.Â

Having built both the Revell and GWH mudhens, I gotta day, theyâre pretty matched. And the Revell is over 20 years old. đđź

Nice builds, but don't the panel lines look very heavy, especially on the port side of the fuselage?

The blue is Testors MM enamel Cobalt Blue.Â
Alclad II shades; fuselage-aluminum and duralumin.Â
Rudder and elevators-white aluminum.
Flaps and ailerons-airframe aluminum.
Bottom wing plate- hi-shine plus aluminum.
Wings-Tamiya lacquer LP-38 flat aluminum.Â
All of it was primed with Mr. Surfacer Black 1500. -
