Christer A Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I was not supposed to start another kit.... But here I am. Again. Oh well, it's a sharkmouth group build and I HAVE to participate! No fancy Jukin Judy (a GWH P-61 will be built with that later on), nor a Grey Nurse (Spitfire VIII) or an Apache (A-36A!) this time but a rather more simple and "quick" build of an Airfix Mustang. I intend to model this little beauty: I have the newish Airfix-kit and some decals from Aztek so everything is ready to go. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 While doing research I discovered that it was converted to a two-seater with extra controls. Hmmm, should forget about that fact right away or try to so something about it . Time to ponder that for a while.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Christer, I was also planning to do a Dominican Mustang and have been heart-searching about which one. I think the one you have pictured is a two-seater because there is no obvious pilot's armour. According to the Hagedoorn book they weren't all two-seaters. The one with the yellow nose on the Aztec sheet (1900) was a two-seater according to that book. I was thinking about doing a single seater and just guess the nose colour. I'd like to do a blue or yellow one. Maybe some-one else on BM might have more info, I shouldn't let this problem put you off the build, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 23 hours ago, Christer A said: I was not supposed to start another kit.... I know all about this You chose a very unique Mustang and looks to be a bit of a challenge to pint the camouflage in 1/72 scale. Double seater or not, it will look great when done.

Christer A Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thanks Alan and Peter! I think I can raid another Airfix kit for a Seat, stick and instrument panel. I can always buy a replacement resin cockpit for that one This way, I get to scratch a floor and other fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I considered a Korean War Mustang with sharkmouth, but decided on the F-86'as I haven't built a jet for some time now.. I wasn't suppOsed to start another kit either, and the Airfix Spitfire XIV will be arriving soon! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see the serial here but at the time of the photo it was not a two-seat. Maybe that helps you decision to build her?

Christer A Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Sorry! I got really distracted by a deHavilland Hornet and never got around to start it. Currently I don't have any plan to do so either, feeling a bit burned out on starting new kits but never getting around to finish them. It IS a simple kit though and should be fairly quick but..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
