Roman Schilhart Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Dear fellow Britmodellers, here's my 1/72 AZ Model Mustang III 'Dorsal Fin'. This kit has previously been distributed under the Kovozavody Prostejov (KP) label. The new boxing contains an extra sprue for the fin, as well as drop tanks and pylons. Unfortunaltely, the new extra sprue is not as crispy and sharp in moulding quality as the kit’s main parts, and the wing pylons are especially poor. They were replaced with resin items from KP. The model was painted using Alclad II lacquers. It represents the mount of six victory ace Flight Lt. Don Kimball from 441. (Canadian) Squadron. I replaced the kit's drop tanks with 108-gallon tanks from the spares box, as an original photograph shows 9G-L in exactly that configuration. The kit's decals represent B-type RAF roundels. These were exchanged for C-Type (which seem more likely given the timeframe) roundels from Xtradecals. All photographs by Wolfgang Rabel, IGM Cars & Bikes. Thanks for your interest. A full build review will be featured in an upcoming edition of Scale Aviation Modeller International. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Alfonso Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi My Friend Roman!!! Congratulations for this wonderful masterpiece. I have been watching the bird carefully and is a good companion for Dooleybird, your previous North American Pony. Liked a huge lot the way how the shades of silver and aluminum goes in this one and the weather you used. Seem will have to make you a detailed interview about the use of those wonderful Alclad colours and how it can be used. Also, BTW the Paper Fuel Tanks gives the kit a very different and distinguished air and presence, maybe ¡f you plan another of this type build, you can do one with the normal tanks and in another dress, maybe a camouflaged one. Wish you success in the SAMI article and for sure, those guys will be grateful to have you in their roster to increase sales and readers poll!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
