PhantomBigStu Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Temporarily without a bench so see If I bang this one out on the dining room table over the next few days. Also my Humbrol RLM81 and 82 have dried out so have to make do with whatever closest. Edited May 14, 2021 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of though sadly I lacked that childhood memory, only plastic bashing I did was of the Lego variety. Anyway hope to start tommorow and I’ve found suitable RLM subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Well it turns out this won’t be happening yet, turns out I wasn’t paying attention and it was only till the end of yesterday I’d be without a bench. 🤣 So back onto other projects. Hopefully have time for this later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 Decided to make a start, need an easy build and an excuse to improve my build buy ratio before a visit to a modelshop later. Definitely an easy build, only a tiny bit of sanding needed on the nose cone and no filler 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t given it violates the spirit of the GB as an Escort fighter, though having realised they did do intercepting as well and others have entered mustangs can’t hurt to enter it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Another title change ready for the mustang now the Komets almost done, just waiting for the underside varnish to touch dry before drilling the stand hole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 A P51 and an Me163, I never thought about it but it would have been feasible and might even have happened. Under power the Me would leave the Mustang for dust but then again once the fuel was used it would have been a sitting duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
