Procopius Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 I tried a shot in the photo booth, but it made it look worse, somehow: PXL_20220504_004844333 by Edward IX, on Flickr PXL_20220504_004902235 by Edward IX, on Flickr I did a last oil pin wash and dull coat, and then took the masks off: PXL_20220504_005958591 by Edward IX, on Flickr Somehow a bunch of dust got in the cockpit on the...well, it's not a sliding hood...flipping hood... PXL_20220504_005901237 by Edward IX, on Flickr Anyhow, I prised it off and a cotton bud wiped it off, so will put it back on when I'm not drinking this terrible margarita mix and take more photos. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm placing a large order (five kits) from Poland on the 5th or 6th to get a volume discount and defray shipping, I can toss one in for you if you like. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can always make it a meeting of the midwest division of Britmodeller and invite John. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll happily eat shipping, since two more kits doesn't change what I'd be paying anyway, and you two can come visit me like I'm some eastern potentate in Hedgehog Manor Mk II, which is less than a mile south of Hedgehog Manor Mk I. Everyone wins! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Calling her done. Better than some past efforts, not as good as the kit merits, hopefully I'll improve for the next one. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 A right stunner I'd say. Most impressive Edward. I imagine one of these Arma kits would impress me much having almost battled my way through the RS P-51H! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 That's very good Edward. I've come to appreciate the P-51 with high back and canopy framing. In my early days it always had to be P-51D. The dropped flaps and weathering worked very well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 29 minutes ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Ive got one in the future builds pile, anything I should know ? Well it's a typical RS kit. Nice fine detail and it looks accurate for sure, but nothing like a top quality injection moulded offering. The usual things like no location pins and although there are nice internals, they all need work to make them fit. Some of the finer U/C parts that support the main gear are resin and extremely small and delicate and not that well moulded. I managed to break mine and had to scratch build those and the tail wheel. But with some decent effort, a nice looking build can be obtained. I just think that this Arrma offering looks to be way way ahead! I'm sure you will enjoy the challenge!

HAMP man Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Why are we talking about Terry's P? 51H. The kit is as good as it gets OOB so presentation is everything, not withstanding some documented tribulations end result is, its a keeper. As always a good job done Box on Strickers 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
