Sturmovik Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Tamiya kit with Revell decals. Fit was perfect. The Revell decals were rather thick. The ones on the upper surfaces went down OK after I applied some Vallejo decal softener, but the lower wing roundels refused to conform to the panel lines. I´ll have to find Microsolfor the next time. The bombs were painted Revell 66 Olive Grey, which was said to be Olive Drab on Scalemates, but it looks too grey. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Nice P51, they look so different in RAF markings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Looks somehow out of place to see an aircraft in other country's markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'm going to get me an American Mustang D next time, maybe the Hobby Boss one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Nice work on that! 👍 I learn something new every day; I expected it to have a Malcolm Hood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Do you mean the HB 1/48 "Easy Assembly" kit? The Airfix P-51D would offer a lot more value for a small increase in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually want it because it has the Missouri Armada scheme in dark green/medium grey, whereas the Airfix kit has both camouflage options in natural metal.

bryanm Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Very nice - mine awaits in the stash. I may do a parallel build of this one with the forthcoming Airfix Mk IV so yours is a bit of inspiration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Very nice finish! I think Mustangs look great in RAF markings too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
