72modeler Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Damn, Tony! What a collection of Mustangs! I think you have enough escorts for that case of Airfix Mitchells you are building! Prolific AND proficient! I am jealous, my friend! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Supurb... Enjoyed viewing your collection, I especially like Old Crow the pilot in it really makes the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The area around the exhaust was brushed using Humbrol Polished Aluminium which was buffed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 A really fantastic collection Tony. Please let me know which paint you use for natural metal. It looks great. I hope you'll do Dooleybird sometime. My favourite Commonwealth Mustang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the same on a 1/72 Airfix Mustang having tried, and failed, to get a nice even coat with brushed on Mr. Metalcolor paints, which I was hoping would be the Holy Grail (they weren't!) of natural metal finishes. Funny you should say that about Dooleybird. My sentiments exactly. It looks much better with blue trim, in my opinion, but the general consensus seems to be yellow so mine is on hold until I make my mind up. Anyway, always a pleasure looking at your builds so please keep 'em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airfix are releasing the kit with markings for Dooleybird later in the year,.... so I might build it then, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Tony, I believe you can build a model in the time it takes me to suss the instructions on most kits. I've said it before, so why not say it again - I always think the P-51D looks best in British/Commonwealth markings, although a very close second is the camouflaged Israeli bird.
