Antoine Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi there, Last one out of the production line. Ok, yes, I've yet to add two wing tanks, and one last stencil... I did have a lot of fun with this one, but yet I managed to make a lot of errors and had my share of bad luck, don't worry! So, I'm not 100% happy with the result. 70% maybe? Still, I like it, and hope you will Weathering much too strong for this scale, to be more specific for the exhausts and the guns, antenna wire much more 1/32 than 1/72, bad fi tof the black upper antenna (Gonio?), etc... Also, bad luck with PMA decals. Everything went well with the stylized sun on six positions, but I had three different sets of numbers and stencils wrecked before the one that decided to stay in place! This specific F-51 is part of a group of aircraft that were paid by different donators, 067 (F-51067; 44-74956) being paid for by Taipei City(City name is written under the pit. Any comments welcome, do not hesitate to tell me what you think, whatever it is. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpoud117 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 It's good to see a Mustang in post-war, unusual markings Don't be too hard on yourself, weathering on metal colors is always tricky and once it's done, it can be really hard to un-do. I've had my share of bad luck with this as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russmeister 101 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I see nothing wrong with this Pony-plane. Well done that man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Boy Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Love it! You've done a great job and these markings are wonderful! So tired of seeing Mustang's from the WWII Europe. Always go for something different. Keep up the good work! Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 A beautiful F-51! Over-weathered? Not really, IMHO. 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
