72nders Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Hello all, This build was another GB with my dad which was completed a few weeks ago. Both kits are Tamiya 1/72, Captain Weaver's mustang was done by my dad, and "Tallahassee lassie" was done by myself. The models were painted with Mr Color Super Metallic 2 Super Fine Silver and Super Iron and Mr Color H8 Silver, NO PRIMER was used. The only AM products that were used are PE for the interiors and antennas. Hope you enjoy!

Smudge Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Those are very nice. Where are the decals from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Two super smart, super shiny mustangs, Tallahassee Lassie is my favourite scheme ever! Good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Very nice! Although I'm very much an 8th AF devotee, I do like those Iwo Jima Mustangs with the bright colourful tails. Great finishes on both. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Tamiya's 1/72 P-51D is an excellent kit, if due for replacement IMO. Your paintwork is admirable. How did you do the VLR antennae on Tallahassee Lassie? I have some Kagero decals for Iwo Mustangs but haven't figured out an approach to the antenna bits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 A great pair! Very cleanly built. Good job in the small scale - I couldn't tell the difference to the Tamiya 1/48 Mustang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge, the decals used on "Tallahassee lassie" are Hussar productions decals (Cartograf) and the decals used on Capt. Weaver's mustang are from Kits-World.

Jackson, to do the VLR antennas on "Tallahassee lassie" I filled in the original single antenna hole then drilled two little parallel holes around the same place were the original hole was, then I just test fitted the PE antennas (old True Details set) in their holes for later fitting. The dorsal antenna came from the spare parts (modified). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112 Squadron Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 An amazing pair of Mustangs! You did a great job. 👍 I like the choice of markings you selected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Excellent work on both the Mustangs. I can't remember the last time I saw a bare metal spinner - that makes it stand out. Congratulations to both of you. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Amazing and clean builds. The NMF looks really good. Also a great choice of markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
François Escudé Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Excellent builds !! very neat painting !! And I notice that you have presented them with the inner gear doors closed... as seen on numerous real pictures but not in the same proportion in term of models of all scale... for me it's a very interesting point !! congratulations !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
