Gravesend Mustang Mk. III, 1944...


Recommended Posts

 

This was a fun kit and I enjoyed building it.  Some different plumage than the usual US, which I also like to do--different plumage, that is.  Paints were all Vallejo and Vallejo Air...oil paint pinwash...Decals are from the superb Xtradecal Sheet for 19 Squadron.  This is the fifth 19 Sq aircraft I have built so far.  Some aircraft are in the queue for assorted GB this year and I will be building others along the way.  Next up is a Phantom, the last aircraft to be officially used by 19 Sq before they disbanded in 1992 and became a reserve unit.  Don't worry folks...I have at least 2 Spitfires lined up...😄

 

Here's some Mustang pics...

It's not often I get over to this neighbourhood on the Forum.  There is a different crowd over here.

Thank you all...

 

I think I'm going to build Spitfire Mk I K9794, the one without registration numbers that crashed into the fence in Digby.  I have a nice Tamiya kit and the correct decals from the Xtracolor sheet.

Wonderful work on your Mustang, John

 

Out of interest, I live in Gravesend and my housing estate (Riverview Park) was built late fities/early sixties on the site of the former RAF Gravesend airbase.

...many years ago, I used to live on Riverview Park too - what a small world! My parents bought their first house there in 1959. I always imagined hearing the sound of fighters whenever I wandered along the old perimeter track - now sadly all gone. Now here's a lovely Mustang to add to the memories too - that's a lovely model John - very nice!

 

Cheers, Andy
