Scooby Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I didn't realize his aircraft was a K, I thought it was a P-51D. Very nice, what decals did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Edmundson Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I didn't realize his aircraft was a K, I thought it was a P-51D. Very nice, what decals did you use? 44-72199 was a P-51D-20, not a 'K'. first paragraph says Cutting Edge decals.

guaguachong Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I used gunze no8 silver. Add gloss black for color change. I kina lazy to not use super silver not alcad due to you have to primer it very well to make them stay there. quote name="philtn" post="2278374" timestamp="1456308192"] Really like it, very good job!

Spitfire31 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That's a really nice Mustang and the NMF is very convincing! In fact, on the wings you could say that it's too convincing, since NMF P-51s had their wings carefully puttied, sanded smooth and painted silver, in order to make the best use of the laminar flow profile. So, no visible panel joints, apart from the gun access hatches, and a uniform silver surface. ;-) Sterling modelling!

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Very nice. Do you have references for 357th Mustangs using rockets? I've got a book on the 357th and I can't recall and pics or text saying anything about them using rockets. They were mostly too busy shooting German aircraft for that! thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guaguachong Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 You are right my friend. Usually they do not carry rockets. I just thought that I looked cool to carry rockets and I do not like the drop tanks. Very nice. Do you have references for 357th Mustangs using rockets?

guaguachong Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Personally I like airplane with weathering. So I added all these effects. Not always the same as real one looks but hey this is modeling. That's a really nice Mustang and the NMF is very convincing!

ashley353 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Fantastic NMF finish. The codes on the starboard side should read A-G4 but a great build nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guaguachong Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Fantastic NMF finish. The codes on the starboard side should read A-G4 but a great build nonetheless. thank you my friend. i need to read some more references but really have no time. too many kits and full time job, everything costs time.

Tango 1 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I like this! This is a great looking Mustang! Your NMF is superb and I love how you have weathered the model too. Your photography is great! Wish I could get that look to my photo's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
