Mick Drover Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi all. A Sunday arvo session done and a model is complete. This is the 1/48th Airfix P-51D Mustang. I wanted a non-silver finished Mustang so I grabbed the OD/NG Rovin' Rhoda/4 Bolts scheme from my Eduard Mustang. There's lots of variation in the colour achieved using lots of thin, layered greens and greys and everything in between. The exhausts, props and spinner are courtesy of Eduard. I need to source some long rang tanks as the kit ones are pretty crap. I'm really happy to have this one finished, dare I say my favourite for the year?!! Almost forgot, I painted the nose checkers ans spinner to match ..never again! I had a lot of fun with this one. Cheers, Mick Some info, the aircraft was flown by Lt. Irvine Snedecker during April 1945. The aircraft was with the 364th FS, 357th FG, 8th AF at Leiston. 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The various green shades can be seen and look superb. The weathering is excellent and the nose checkers and spinner are very well done, despite the trouble painting them. Masterfully done, my friend.
