Popular Post rom1 Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 Hello At the beginning I was not very motivated by the build because the comparison with the armastangs I started in parallel was not fair... But well... At the end I am pretty happy with this rather simple build. I am not used to Braille scale so to say... But I enjoyed it. Mostly from the box with 3d printed hvar, arma mustang plastic wheels, kit decals. Painted in Tamiya Lp11/lp38 for the wings. Mr hobby super chrome silver on the fuselage, later coated with satin gx114 varnish to break the metallic shine. Oil weathering. Oh and I had to remove the clear parts and replace them with Tamiya ones. I managed to get cement infiltration on the windshield, and ugly white marks on the joint line of the canopy. Pics taken with canon 800d, transfered and a bit processed on my smartphone. Cheers! 77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Nice Mustang! The rather grubby finish is a probably a good representation of the in-the-field working conditions in Korea. 🤔 👍 Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortCummins Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 @1:72 that's remarkable, excellent build and finish, those tiny scratches on the "black" paint are just right 👍 rgds John(shortCummins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The more you look the more impressive the model is, from the filled panel lines to the weathering it is top notch, good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 You have put so much detail into a 1/72 kit that it appears as if it might be a larger scale model. Thanks for sharing such a great build and finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is 1/72???? Wow, it could pass for much bigger!! KUDOS for nailing the laminar flow wing finish, no panel lines except for the gun access doors Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUDOS for nailing the laminar flow wing finish, no panel lines except for the gun access doors Ciao Yes! I forgot to tell in my description. Wing panel lines are filled with black cyano glue and then sanded. Some more works but quite rewarding a'd more accurate at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
