Orangutan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 5 months later and plenty of mistakes. Was planning to take proper photos with a compact DLSR. But Snapseed (photo editing app) was so much fun 1/48 Meng P-51D with Kit decals, Eduard wheels & SuperFabric Seatbelts. cheers Shane 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangutan Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Many thanks for the kind comments! 17 hours ago, Simon382 said: Very nice indeed! Is this really snap fit???? Well, erm, Yes & No. No because there would be gaps present (on the wings's leading edges especially) if I did not use glue and filler Yes because the parts' tolerances are so tight that they stay together (mostly!) just by friction alone. Making dry-fitting a nightmare. 1 hour ago, Zarichta said: Excellent paint work. Superb! What kind of paint did you use? Regards; Primer was Mr Surfacer 1500 Black Base > Gunze GX 2 for the high gloss Metal finish > AK Interactive Polished Aluminium this was dulled down a fair amount by a thin coat of Tamiya clear, oils, pigments. remaining colours are Tamiya Acrylic Shane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Nothing wrong with that! Excellent build! The snap fit thing sounds like a mixed blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
