tonyot Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hiya Folks, I`ve been beavering away over on the MTO GB and here is my latest model is the new 1/48th Airfix Mustang, built as an aircraft of 3 Sqn, RAAF in Italy, using a set of Aeroproducts propeller blades from the Hasegawa kit. I have to say that it is the best 1/48th scale Mustang kit that I have ever built,... so well done Airfix. Here is the WIP; And here is the model; DSCF3690_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3687_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3683_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3679_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3696_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3691_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3700_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr DSCF3682_NEW by Tony OToole, on Flickr Cheers, Tony 64 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Soft spot for Mustangs Tony? That's a magnificent collection of Mustangs you've amassed. The one that I particularly like is the silver and yellow trimmed Y2-A. They're all of the same stunning standard and if you've got more in your collection, I'd love to see them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Paw Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 25 (?) 1/48 scale Mustangs all looking superb. I will take your word for it - the Airfix kit is good then. Andrew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 What an awesome collection of Mustangs! Tony, you're playing Champions League. If I could pick a favorite, it would be Y2-A. Best greetings from Vienna Roman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Another excellent result Tony. Great build from start to finish mate, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I haven't bought the Airfix 'stang yet. But I suspect if I see one in a shop it'll be coming home with me. Tony, I don't know what it is about your builds but every model you exhibit seems to capture the essence of the prototype. It's a rare skill. If I had any money, I'd buy some of your builds, if you were selling. I'm broke though.😫😫 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazontipede Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Now that's a spectacular herd you've amassed there to be sure! Where on earth do you store all these beautiful builds? You'd almost need a 1:1 hangar by now, wouldn't you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Superb, Tony. The Airfix '72 was a very nice kit as well so I imagine this one would be even more enjoyable. Oh for more display space.😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
