North American P-51 D Tamiya 1/48


Recommended Posts

Ok i know i know, wings are puttied, sanded, painted but i like them better with panel lines. Actually i tried to achieve the paint color but it didn't work

Assembled pretty much out of the box, guns made of hypo needles, seat belts out of tape, brake lines out of Cooper wire, drilled the exhaust pipes, drilled the wheels spokes, made the rearview mirror from clear sprue, and that's it.

Now don't be looking and researching for the unit, group etc etc, the markings correspond to a plane that exist only on my mind, i didn't want to take any chances with the decals so i discarded the Tamiya ones and i dove on my leftovers bin, and this is the outcome.

Painted mainly with Alclad products and some Model Master Metalizer,did i mention is my first NMF??

So here goes

Thanks for stopping by , comments and critique

Thanks a lot, glad you approve.

I tried to give the NMF a more realistic look, worn and dirty, I think I got it close to what I wanted.

Not a contest winner but im satisfied.

Again thanks a lot and merry Xmas to all of you
