ModelingEdmontonian Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 This is the first instalment in my "Last Legs Ponies" project--an ex-Texas ANG P-51D pony that was on its last legs in Costa Rican service in 1955. The kit is Airfix, and only modification is the antenna mast, for which I used a needle. The decals are from Blue Rider. Special shout out to @Corsairfoxfouruncle who pointed out and guided me through the "ghost" Texas ANG markings, which made this model particularly interesting for me. Enjoy!

SAT69 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I'm very impressed with the ghost markings. I don't believe I've ever seen that done on a model before and yours is most convincing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I love how this turned out. The painted over markings are very believable and the over all build is superb. Nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelingEdmontonian Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Thanks for the kind comments @Wulfman @Bertie Psmith @Corsairfoxfouruncle @HOUSTON @SAT69 @opus999! Regarding the ghost markings, really didn't know what I was doing, but I am happy with how they turned out and again wouldn't have even realized I should do them without @Corsairfoxfouruncle! And I forgot to link the WIP in case of interest: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
