VG 33 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Fantastic Libor. I did not know the PRU blue Mk III. It is the opportunity to make a new scheme with this famous aircraft. Thank you for sharing. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Stunning Libor, beautiful paintwork. Never seen a PR blue one before, that's my favourite too, just kinda looks right in that scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Three excellent examples. The PRU blue one is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_m Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Beautiful as always. I really love the added rivet lines. The Starkey Ia "G": the hispanos didn't have exposed recoil springs (those yours look very finely made), see photo of this aircraft on page 628 of 2TAF (Vol 4)- in fact I think all Ia's lacked these? I have made this aircraft from the same kit, and yours definitely looks at least one scale larger! There was a thread on here about the PRU blue Mk III, but I never saw the one photo upon which this was colour scheme based- do you have the photo, and is it going in the Valiant Wings book?

Tony Edmundson Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Looks great, just ordered the book last night. Also have a few Canadian Mk1s to get at. Have a Frog, Academy, 2 Italeri , and a MNews kit waiting in the stash. Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) They are some of the nicest Stangs ever seen on this website.. And there have been many beautiful kits shown.. I love all of them, however that Apache paintwork Olive Drab application is just outstanding.. Hopefully I will live long enough and practice long enough to achieve these types of results one day.

Redboost Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks chaps! For Ben_M: thanks, I have the Vol.4 of 2TAF, but I wanted to show those lovely resin barrels with recoil springs from QB. The 541.squadron Mustang is based on information provided by Colin Ford (elsewhere on BM and HS forums). Cant't say if the photo will appear in the book, though.

murfv Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 3 top spec Mustangs, I think the Mk.III is my fave, never seen a PRU blue Mustang before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Stunning Mustangs. Superb work as ever Libor! I have that Condor A-36A, builds into a lovely kit. Also went to town on the Italeri Mk.1 kit in a similar fashion, with some minor improvements, added the oblique camera & brass gun barrels. Looks like you have a similar liking to me! You always seem to give your models a fine satin finish that doesn't reflect light too much, very much in relation to the scale. What final lacquer do you spray your models with?

Navy Bird Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Gotta love this trio! The PRU blue Mustang is very intriguing, I've not seen that one before. I figure that "Libor" is actually an acronym. It stands for Lovely Incredible Beautiful Outstanding Replicas! Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks everyone for kind comments, much appreciated gents!Martin, agree the Condor kit is pretty good despite its age. Well, can't help myself, but any Mustang looks the best with roundels :-)As for the final laquer, I mix Mr.Color Matte and Gloss (the Super Clear III) to get a semi-matte; the ratio depends how much matte I want (thinned with Gunze Levelling Thinner).Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
