wisco7 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Kit has been painted with alclad II metal finishes and floquil old silver. Wash used is a water based Winsor & Newton cotman water colors. I also used the wash as gas spillage around the gas tanks. Small areas of chipping paint was achieved using a silver pencil, I would have prefered to use the hairspray method. Exhaust was created using thinned out flat black and dry brushed over very lightly with a light grey . Hope you like the way it turned out. Thank you for looking.

wisco7 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thank you everyone for the kind compliments. It's been a very long time since I've built one of these please forgive my inaccuracies . My friend Mark is an authority on Mustangs and has given me many tips on how it should look and things I can do to improve the next build. I did not know that the wings were filled with putty at the factory before delivery so that would be one thing I will have to address on the next build. I also learned that the prop collars were rubber, I had inadvertantly added paint chipping to them which I had to carefully cover up. Also the gas stains were a reddish color and not black as seen in the pics. Even though it looks to be a simple build there are certain identifiers that makes this plane true to itself or the theater it served in. Im currently researching my next build which is the 1/48 Hasegawa P-51D, hopefully it will be more accurate and as true to what it looked like in its particular theater.
