mark.au Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Hello all; Here's my latest effort. I tried something a bit out of my comfort zone on this and used Bare Metal Foil for the NMF. It was both easier and harder than I imagined it would be, but overall I am pleased with how it turned out, and more importantly I ended up quite enjoying the process. I made enough mistakes for it to take almost two full sheets of foil to cover this one Mustang, but I learned a lot and am looking forward to the next one. The decals came from a twenty year old SuperScale sheet which behaved surprisingly well, though the larger ones had a preponderance to split and all resisted Micro Set/Sol; I resorted to Mr. Mark Setter for the more stubborn ones. As usual, comments and critiques are welcome. Cheers; Mark. Edited July 21, 2020 by mark.au Typo(s) 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That is one great looking Mustang! And the BMF treatment makes the contrast between natural metal surfaces and the painted wings very clear. Excellent modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fubar57 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Very nice looking aircraft. I built this 6 years ago. The final outcome of the real aircraft wasn't good, being rammed on the ground by another P-51. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
