Hello Dears,

Well here's the model and its clones !!

So far, I'm satisfied !

IMG_20200506_005427

On the right, Eduard, center Tamiya and then ICM

And on the other front...

Let's sing Shim Shim Shimney !!

I used to think that the mustang was a WW II aircraft....

But this one seem to love trenches....  :cheers:

Gents, I'm really  crazy, since I feel eager to start 3 other Mustang... 

This Eduard Royal box is a treat of a kit...

And load of unused part to feed other kits !!

I wait the F-6D feverishly !!

I hope that they will issue a Korean war one... I mean "Julie, Scotty and ?"

Really sad story indeed, But I want to reproduce this aircraft as a tribute...

Have a great modelling time !!

Sincerely.

Well Guys !!

2 days without coming on the forum...

It has scarcely happened for me, but very hard job these days... 

Still I spend my evening on my models but as I'm tired there are not significant progresses...

Whatever !! That's life !!

 

I think that I catch the Mustanga virus...

Here's a pic of the -A, 2 days ago...

IMG_20200506_231759

Shimed a bit is'nt it ??

The polishing of Da Beast has improved a lot !!

 

Ordnance for the -A, I saved the Bazookas from the Academy P-47N 

But I think that this will go back to the surplus, just have a look at the Eduard one... Amazing...

IMG_20200506_225102

still I'm creating (copying) as far as I can, the Eduard parts in order to improve the TamiCM ones.. :whistle:

IMG_20200508_213345

If you followed my Yak thread, you can guess the answer...

Wich control stick is the ICM one ???

IMG_20200508_222310

Infinite Cink mark strike again...:cheers::cheers:

And I use the PE fret to the max...

IMG_20200509_003012

The 3 next Mustang -D are defined.... I must control myself and make some Corsairs...

And Sea Furies...

And Phabulous Phantom...

And so on... 

Take care Gents and have a great modelling week end !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears !

Look at that !! 15 parts for a wheel well !! But that's nice....

IMG_20200509_230134

But mind yourself, there's a bug on the destructions...

Parts #61 and #62 are inverted... Other than that, still the kit is a treat !!

It change from my lunacies.... A bit of respite...

Take care Gents and have fun in building models !!

Sincerely.

Aaaand Bim !!! Punked, I'm back to my ponies...

IMG_20200511_225608

So, this one will enter the paint booth soon !!

Improvement of the ventral scoop !!

IMG_20200511_225933

The goal here is that these ICM Mustangs cannot be recognized...

Lots of sanding then !!

This pic can be called "A blacksmith backyard in 1946..." 

IMG_20200511_231217

And now Gents let me know..

What do you think about my clowning cloning...

IMG_20200512_000141 IMG_20200511_225956

The Tamiya and the ICM benefits of the Eduard generosity !!

I even add some spars near the rear wheel, just to see that there is something on there !!

Ok Gents !! Have a great modelling time !!

See you soon for more...

Take care !!

Sincerely.

That’s a really good looking cockpit. I would wear the floor on both sides leading to the rudder pedals to show the wood under the black.

 

John

You're right John, the way I will do !! Thanks !

Now, for this one, I will restrain myself since Yeager received it brand new !!

Thank for your support !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

I did a lot today, but nothing really worth of a pic...

Toying with PE parts !!

Then the internals are almost done on the 3 -D

Look at the undersides...

IMG_20200518_000315

I'll try to improve the wheel wells a bit..

And guess which is the one who refused its wheel well ???

Good night Gents !!

Take care, and thanks for your support.

Sincerely.

IMG_20200525_211436

Poppies sundowners !!

Thank you Spad !

SWMBO say "You're welcome !!"

 

IMG_20200527_220151

No no Dears,

I'm not ruining the windshield... Or at least, I try to not to !!

It's just creating a look alike deflector...

In CBI they oftenly have field made deflectors...

And Mrs Virginia got one....

Well well...

I saayyyy !!

IMG_20200528_220827

Infinite Cink Mark will be corrected soon !!

Amazingly enough... The Tamiya has been the most difficult one to close up...

I know, I stuffed a bit of improvement in it...

Here we are !!

IMG_20200528_235724

And the -A will receive a real gunsight instead of this blob of plastic...

I enhanced the panel with a more prominent bumper !!

IMG_20200528_235825

Glazing are glued bit by bit... Paint booth is nearing...

Take care and have fun in building models...

Thanks for popping in my theads...

Some production line there CC.

A friend got a part time job in a model shop when he retired. It was actually the model section of a large toy shop and they were really pleased to have him, because normally the people just rotated around the sections but he actually knew what he was selling and a few of his colleagues actually started taking an interest in modelling.

 

Stay safe at work.

 

John
