johnny akes Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 OOB, paint scheme from Barracuda Decals although the checkerboard nose was painted as the decals didn't fit properly. Regards J A 32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Stunning Mustang there, great weathering and paintjob, I can`t believe how well the removable panels fit either. Really nice work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Lovely P-51, great choice of scheme especially if torn between a nmf finish or o/d! Great work, finish and weathering look spot on. Keep putting off making mine as a little worried about spoiling it, did you find any issues with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Great build and paint job along with a nice change from the 'usual suspect' P-51 schemes. Excellent all round! Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work, finish and weathering look spot on. Keep putting off making mine as a little worried about spoiling it, did you find any issues with it? Thanks for all the positive feedback folks, much appreciated. No issues at all JD, it looks quite daunting when you open the box but it's actually a pretty straightforward build - the quality of the kit makes it a real pleasure. I used no filler on this, and the engine cowls fit much better than on the Spitfire (I think the engine installation is a lot more robust). Go for it! 21 hours ago, ColinChipmunkfan said: This is high quality modelling, very impressive- I'm fascinated to know how did you did the checkerboard painting Thanks CC - although the Barracuda checkerboard decal was too big I used it as a template for masking tape squares, sprayed the yellow onto a white primer layer then laid the squares over the top. The red border was also sprayed but the fuselage stripes are decals. Regards J A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
