Johnson Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Brilliant Rod. The weathering (well, and the rest of the work) is what takes it up to the modelling stratosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srkirad Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Excellent finish, weathering and final look, but one thing catched my eye - USAF marking on lower right wing - is it positioned correctly - top of the star should point to the front of the plane? 🙄 Cheers, S. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I've never been attracted to the F-51D but this has most certainly changed my mind! What did you use to coat the model before applying the decals, before/after the wash? What did you use for the wash on the metallic surface?
