"Lullaby for a Dream" - Eduard 1/48
2996 Victor replied to djktrumpet's topic in P-51 Mustang STGB 5
I did the self same thing - they seem particularly brittle. A bit of Evergreen or Plastruct rod, or some brass wire, will get it sorted in no time. Cheers, Mark -
Brengun Mustang Mk Ia ........ or something similar?
2996 Victor replied to Zephyr91's topic in P-51 Mustang STGB 5
Super work on the cockpit, Rob, the area behind the seat looks really great, very convincing! All round great work knocking this into shape. I know what you mean about rescribing and I feel your angst. Cheers, Mark -

My bundle arrived today 😁 Mk.IIB+Mk.IIC+Sea Hurri Mk.IIC. Very, very happy and looking forward to building them. Thank you, Arma! My only quandary is that I'd planned to build the Mk.IIB as an ML-KNIL example in the Asia GB, but one of the box schemes is a Church Stanton-based aircraft, and Church Stanton is near where I grew up! Cheers, Mark

Excellent review, Mike, thank you! Cheers, Mark
-
Thanks, yes I'd spotted that but I'm not really in the market for a Mk.IX at the moment, and as we're gearing up to move house soon I don't want to be buying more kits at the moment! I might try a want ad and see if anyone's got one sitting in a spares box! Cheers, Mark

Brilliant, thanks, that's great! I just need to find an Aerovee carb intake now! Cheers, Mark

Tamiya 1/48 RAAF 3SQN Mustang III, Italy
2996 Victor replied to Pappy's topic in P-51 Mustang STGB 5
Great progress, Pappy, this is really coming along very nicely! I love the extra details - the scratch built reflector gunsight is great, but I didn't realise the ring and bead was retained too. Looking forward to your next update! Cheers, Mark -
Cracking job, JB, that's an excellent Mustang! Great to see a camo'd version and the ID stripes were worth the perseverance! This has been a great build to follow Cheers, Mark

Looks fantastic, Chris, I'll bet you're glad you persevered? You're a master at these TT schemes! Cheers, Mark

So, as a follow-up to my questions just above, does anyone know if after market Spitfire Aerovee carb intakes and Mk.IX props are available in 1/48 scale? Ultracast make prop blades and spinner for the Eduard Mk.IX, but use the kit backplane. Cheers, Mark

Hi Pete, I'd say that's a great idea - the fading doesn't need to be by much but I think it would work really well against the faded PRU Blue. Cheers, Mark P.S. Tamiya decals have a bit of a reputation but *apparently* can be made to work very well. As I understand it, they need hot water and the right softener and setter. I've got a link on my laptop to a how-to here on BM which I'll attach in the morning.

Looks great - I love the shade and the variations you've worked in to what could be monotonal. Fantastic stuff! Cheers, Mark

Mattp7999's North American Mustang Mk.IV
2996 Victor replied to Mattp7999's topic in P-51 Mustang STGB 5
Thanks, Matt, that's great! The bronze leg certainly looks "sharper" quite apart from the strength factor. I might have to consider a set.... Cheers, Mark
