theplasticsurgeon Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Joining you with this kit, Costing £2.99 from Home Bargains in 2016. I swapped one prop for leftovers from XtraDecal set X72-099 Mine most likely to be WDD with that black arrow symbol, as archery is my game.

theplasticsurgeon Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 A kit that I've built twice before, First this Firewall scheme Italian Theatre RAF Mustang IV Next this Korean War USAF F-51D Mustang. So I know about the bent undercarriage leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Masked up. Silver powder magic tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Started the silver powder at 1030 this morning with quick airbrush of gloss varnish humbrol 35. An hour later, the magic moment, tacky but not quite dry. Too wet a they mess. Too dry and it doesn't stick at all. Time for silver powder and cotton buds. And a few minutes later.
