Oh No! Another Mustang


Recommended Posts

Finished this off at the beginning of March and had been meaning to take some photo's with my proper camera... But I never seem to get round to it! 

So just got a few mobile pics 

Nothing needs saying about the Tamiya P-51 kits, good old shake-and-bakes. 

However. I really went out of my way to mess up various bits of the kit!

For starters the cockpit was sprayed zinc yellow and not zinc green. I picked up the Mig Ammo set for USN WWII planes and stupidly just by looking at the bottle just presumed it was interior green. D'oh


I managed to butcher the seem under the air intake and ended up a step where the halves met. 

And I also managed to use the wrong decal codes on the side! 

 

Used a Mig Ammo set for the two tone camo. Now that I have discovered Mr Hobby self leveling thinners I'm getting along with Mig paints a lot more now!

Nose and strips are a mix of Tamiya flat white and clear yellow as per the kit instructions.

Speaking of the strips, after completing the kit I had a look at some picture of the actual aircraft and noticed that the strips should carry on to the elevators too. 

Note to Self: Look at picture of the aircraft before not after the build!

 

Used oils for the panel washes. Little bit of chipping. Tamiya smoke... for the smoke. And a little pastel chalk on the walkways to muddy it up.



Overall, for my second plane build since getting back into modelling last year I'm pretty please. 

Was the first time I'd tried black basing and really enjoyed that technique too.

Nice job, great paint 👍

Thanks Rogue, I was pretty pleased with how this one turned out. 
Still a lot to learn with weathering though.
