PilotOfficer Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi All, Well, this was a tricky choice, but I think I'll be doing a Mustang triple build - new Airfix, old Airfix, and Academy Mustangs. Obviously the old Airfix one will be the focus of this group build - photos will be up later this weekend if I can get the photo hosting sorted out...

Col. Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The Academy kit wasn't shocking but certainly eclipsed by the new Airfix one. Only fit issue I had was the windscreen being a touch narrower than the fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotOfficer Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Update: I've rooted through The Stash and come across a Matchbox P-47, is that also eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarLos Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Two Airfix kits qualifies for this GB. Which one is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotOfficer Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Two Airfix kits qualifies for this GB. Which one is yours? It's the "Daddy's Girl" starter kit (A50095). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Update: I've rooted through The Stash and come across a Matchbox P-47, is that also eligible? Well there certainly is better kits out there now. What's the date on the fuselage interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotOfficer Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Well there certainly is better kits out there now. What's the date on the fuselage interior? It reads 1974, so hopefully I can squeeze the P-47 in once the Mustangs are done. Not much done yet, but I've started painting the interiors - pictures later!

PilotOfficer Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I can only apologise for the long wait - coursework got in the way of my posting intentions - so to compensate, here are some photographs of the Mustangs: Since the pictures were taken, I've done a little more work on the assorted seams and sorted out the poor-fitting flaps on the Academy kit. Time to start thinking about paint schemes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
