Airfix P-51K as a RNZAF P-51D of no4 (otago) squadron 1952. decals are ventura, and the only aftermarket are the exhusts which are eduard. this kit has a bit of a story behind it, bought it a few years ago, as i realised i had never built a mustang!! so it went into the stash, a few months later i decided to convert it and build it as a racer, i had some decals for one in the stash, so i filled the nose louvres, ejection ports etc, and then i realised the decals where not that good, so the kit was put away, at some point i gave the kit decals away to someone here on britmodeller. fast forward to a few weeks ago and going through some of my books i found several sheets of bare metal foil, so a quick visit to hannants website got me some decals and off i went, managed to change the front louvres and the kit went togther lovely. putting the metal foil is a slow process, and there are some mistakes i am very pleased with it. i painted the areas that i thought would be tricky to foil. the decals are very thin, and stick very fast!! thanks for looking

Hello all; Here's my latest effort. I tried something a bit out of my comfort zone on this and used Bare Metal Foil for the NMF. It was both easier and harder than I imagined it would be, but overall I am pleased with how it turned out, and more importantly I ended up quite enjoying the process. I made enough mistakes for it to take almost two full sheets of foil to cover this one Mustang, but I learned a lot and am looking forward to the next one. The decals came from a twenty year old SuperScale sheet which behaved surprisingly well, though the larger ones had a preponderance to split and all resisted Micro Set/Sol; I resorted to Mr. Mark Setter for the more stubborn ones. As usual, comments and critiques are welcome. Cheers; Mark.

Hello all, I thought I would ask because someone here would probably know. I am thinking of modifying my Sonic screwdriver into an e-cigarette but I want the copper and silver parts to look like metal not just coloured plastic. My Idea is to cover these with the corresponding Bare metal foil, burnish and then cover in an ample coat of clear coat in the hopes that it will be durable enough to handle daily. will it be durable enough? or will I have to go another route? Any advise and opinions are greatly welcomed Thank you Thomas
