Well that's it Mish is off and running. Nice start Mish, so if this is anything like your Dauntless this will be a cracker

I will be building the Tamiya 1/32 P-51D as Big Beautiful Doll. I just need to get the first of my 1/32 Tamiya P-51's finished, so should get started on this one next weekend Will be using Eagle Cal decals, RB Production Seat Belts, Barracuda Decal Placards, GMA resin tyres, Eduard P-51D Exterior Set, Eduard Paint Mask

Nice work Mac, for $20.00 you have a very nice addition to your collection

Just a few photos before I close up the fuselage

Hi Sean Its Tamiya clear sprayed on first before putting the front part on

Hi Don Eduard PE, using the Big Ed set on this one

The both of the side interiors are now almost completed, just got a few more control wires to add before I close it up. .30cal is completed and the gunners position is painted but still needs the seat, seat belts an gunners rear support belt added. Radio painted and finished After that going to try and make up the ammo rack out of PE plus the spare ammo cans.

Hi Don, glad to have helped you. Should get a update on the build latter this week

Well decided on the build for this, will be doing Ole Cock III in 1/32nd scale using the Hasegawa P-47D kit, possible with a twist to the final color

awesome work

Great build. nice finish

Great progress there Mish, its coming together nice

Fantastic work there Don, just love what you are doing

Nice work Gaz, at this pace you will be finished by the weekend

Nice work on the pit

Hi Jason 1. Try using a rattle can spray, the best I have found is Mr Super Clear 2. I have found with some Tamiya decals you need a stronger solvent if you can get it the best is Solvaset, if not get the Daco Decal set comes in three strengths 3. Even sealed you can go back and put more solvent on, just get a pin and pierce the surface and put more on, not going to say it works all the time but it does sometimes hope this helps Mike

Need to ask 1. what gloss did you put down before the decals 2. what setting solution did you use 3 have you sealed the decals yet

Nice bit of brush painting, nice to see someone using it and getting great results

looks a nice kit have fun

Fantastic work, just love the finish

Very nice

Nice work there, like the story behind the model

Looking good Miss, thats all starting to come together now. Well now you are back at work I may get a chance to catch up

Hi Darren All I did was vary the base color and use a MIG Wash So it was Gunze H58 80% Thinners to 20% paint Lightened with RLM04, well thinned 90% thinners to 10% paint Then added more H58 thinned some more Then lightened with RLM04 thinned again Did this about 6 times Future Coat MIG Wash Chipping with Dark green Paint Flat Coat with Model Masters Flat
