Airfix 1/72 P51-D Mustang


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

This is my reveal for the Airfix 1/72 P51 D mustang which I built alongside a Tamiya 1/72 one as a side by side build. This was built during this years Mustang STGB.

 

Build Summary

The Airfix 1/72 Mustang. A gem of a kit. Went together really well. I painted it using Tamiya Enamels and Humbrol Enamels. I did not give it a wash since the panel lines just highlighted very well after I applied the paint so I left them as is. The decals went on phenomenally well too.

Two fine looking Mustangs, is the Tamiya one really beyond repair ?

Yes the Tamiya kits entire wing is broken to bits so its gone
