Brad Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I know I'm a bit late to the party, but there's still plenty of time. I'll do one of the captured P-51D's the Luftwaffe got their hands on. Pictures of them are rare, but I will do this one, in what is probably dark green over yellow with oversized markings. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Bit of a start tonight. Too late now to airbrush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 I got some paint on the interior this morning then when dry, I picked out some details tonight then started the construction. Not bad the fit, could have perhaps taken a little plastic off the sides of the interior parts as I ended up with a small gap in the tail, but that is easy fixed. I really do like the plastic Airfix are using, it glues nicely and scribes well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancunian airman Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Didn't know the Germans got hold of this type so I will be quite interested in seeing this one through to completion . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 More bits added, plus I'm just waiting for the gear legs, doors and the silver on the joints to dry before I can do some polishing and further construction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Ok, painting, the fun part! I've painted the gear bays green, those are masked. I put a thin layer of matt white on then Gunze RLM 04 yellow...and why does yellow get EVERYWHERE. It looks like I slaughtered Big Bird at my desk now! Anyways I will let this dry good and proper before masking. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 Alright, some Sunday work. Yellow all masked up, ready to paint RLM 71 Dark Green, Super, only had a couple of bits to touch up. Gloss and wheels on. Decals going on from the spares box. Had to dig deep for some Swastikas as I've just about run out. Just the canopy left to muck around with, some weathering and matt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good Brad! Can I ask why you used silver on the joints? Cheers Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use silver over the joins to check for unfilled seams or file/sandpaper scratches. Silver shows up every little fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 A great job on that Brad, I reckon the P-51D looks pretty darn good in that scheme. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
