matto21 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Here is my 99.9% completed Tamiya RAF Mustang. The incomplete 0.01% is the undercarriage doors that I damaged the paintwork on last night - I'll respray them next time I have the airbrush out! The model has been build out of the box with the exception of some Eduard seatbelts and painted with a mix of Tamiya and Xtracrylic paints. This is the fourth model I've build 'properly' over the last 2 years and I've learnt a lot as I've gone on. For anyone that is interested, here is a link to the WIP topic. Thank for your interest Edited November 23, 2012 by matto21 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin_Bitz Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Great job! Where did you get the seat belts, are they british (RAF) or US ? I wanted to build another one of these but could not find any PE seat belts. Nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
