Roman Schilhart Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hello, this is the second Kovozavody Prostejov Mustang III I've fínished - this time, in RAF markings for 19th Squadron, based at Peterhead, spring 1945. The model was painted according to the kit instructions, using Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics. I painted the 'sky' fuselage band but failed to match the Color of the code letters. *doh!* The yellow/black spinner caused some trouble when I tried to mask the stripes with Yellow Tamiya tape - due to the curvature, I had some paint creeping under the mask and re-touches were done by hand, using Vallejo paints. I've added Qucikboost resin exhausts (designed for Tamiya kit, but with slight modification also suitable for this one). Thanks for your interest! The beautifully cast Quickboost resin exhausts: 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Great looking Mustang. I like the subtle weathering. Did you modify the lowered flaps or is it an option in the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowered flaps are a kit option, indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hell, but thats nice. Fwiw, I rate a Malcolm hooded P-51B right up there with Spitfires & you've done this beautifully, though I have to wonder if those yellow leading edge ID strips should go in that far, normally only to the guns.

Steve. Steve, I was wondering about the yellow wing leading stripes as well. As I couldn't find a period photograph of that aircraft, I followed KP's instructions. They show the yellow stripe all the way along the leading edge: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have tried to find a photo also & had no luck so I think you have done all you can & follow the instructions, so, no criticism from me on this, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josip Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 What a nice color option. I'll skip the Revell/ICM kit instructions and go for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lutz Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nicely done. If it is not too late you should switch your main gear doors as they are on the the wrong gear legs. Cheers Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lutz Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Damn! How did I miss that-???? Thanks for pointing out that stupid error, Randy. No big deal. I have noticed that it is the most common error I have seen on Mustang models. Cheers Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
