firehawk66 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi chaps, I have finished my red Tail P-51c and although the kit was a bit challenging at times it looks okay. I'm a little dissapointed to be honest as I tried some post shading and my airbrush was playing up so it looks a bit pants. Also in the finished gallery.

firehawk66 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks guys,I think with an AM cockpit, canopy and especially decals ( kit ones don't settle well ) it can be made into an excellent model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Nice, I got one of these from my LHS recently. I was looking at a Hasegawa one till I found Academy did this & yours is a good recommendation of which way to go, a lot cheaper too. Steve.

I would recommend getting some aftermarket decals since these ones have large carrier film edges to trim and they don't settle well with microset/sol. Also if I were to do another one I'd recommend a PE set for the cockpit and perhaps scratch build a coolant radiator as there is no detail there, and looking into the carb intake you can see right through! Still recommended though sohave fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
