fmichelsen Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hello. I was seeking through my stash to find something for this build, and I found the decals from and Eduard Royal Class Mustang i built years ago. I did also have a Airfix mustang laying in the sales-pile, but not anymore It's time to get it built. It will be build OOB - except the decals ofcourse. I'm a bit worried about the decals for the tail, but here we go 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-er Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 You're off to a good start. Is the tail all one checker decal, or does it need an undercoat of one of the colours? James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that being said, it is a large decal, so maybe I'll cut it into smaller pieces 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmichelsen Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Got more made! All parts are now off the sprues, and i some stade of painting I basecoated the most parts grey, and the painted the yellow on.

Well, ATM i'm hopefull that it will be good, but everything had nearly ended up in the trash. Once I had everything painted and the clear coat was hardened, I began with the checkertail decals. Starting with the first one, for the entire left-side of tail. It totally collapsed/wrapped around my tweezer, and despite my best effort, it was beyond saving (I may have used to hot water, when dipping it?). I packed everything away, thinking "It will be in its box, until I some day throw it out". But no, this one will be finished! So my next try was to use tape, alot of tape.
