North American P-51D Mustang

[Telboy3510]

So this was my other project to get me back into modelling after a short break. I purchased this one from Aldi last Christmas but it came with the wrong decals, I did contact Airfix and to be fair they did send out the correct decals.

This is my tribute to the Tuskegee airmen ( I love that film), I don't know whether this is a re-tool but as with my previous Mustang it went  together like a dream.  I had two problems with both builds, having completed both builds I gave both models a couple of coats of Pledge multi surface polish and then airbrushed Tamiya Matt to the Spitfire and Semi Gloss to the Mustang and both models had what I can only call a white bloom all over them, having sorted out that problem I then varnished using Galeria and had no problems, I will never use the Tamiya varnish again! The other problems I  encountered was with the canopies, normally I use PVA but this time I used Tamaya thin and it wicked upwards, that's a mistake I won't make again.

Anyway, here it is, as usual all comments and critisisms  are welcome.

Despite your problems that has turned out splendidly!

Looks pretty nice, I've got an RAF one to do

Excellent (despite the problems!).

A great result - I do like the in-flight look (even though my builds are all gear-down).

This is another kit I have waiting in the stash - a purchase also inspired by the same movie!.

👍👍
