Hey guys,

 

this is jut a small a update to my build for the last P-51D group build. I did not get it done in time, so I will continue here.

This is the initial post: Hasegawa P-51D "Mustang" 1/48 group build

Time for modelling is unfortunately limited, sorry for not getting it managed to make some in press pictures.

The build is complete and I had to think about the paint theme. I decided to go with a very attractive blue nose, called "Nancy-Lee".

Once again Life Like Decals provides everything we need. the decals are tricky to use. Once applied, the look is good, but I wouldn´t recommend them.

the paint job was done with Revell Aqua Color, Silver and "lufthansa blue". I have used Tamiya tape for masking the nose and I am pretty happy how she came out.

 I tried to give some panels a different shade of silver with Oil filtering. It is not easy to make some good pictures to show this effect.

The wheels provided by Hasegawa look really great, first stage of painting.
