woodbeck3 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hi all. I have been in a 5 year modeling slump, ton of stuff started, nothing finished. For some reason this kit just took off on me and I finished it today. Hasegawa P-51D 1/48 and Eduard cockpit zoom set in Col. Eaglston's marking 1944-45. The Paint is Mr. Color Silver overall with Mr. Color yellow and OD and panels are done in Alclad2 all shot through my Devilbiss Dagr. The decals are from the kits and did not play well with Mr. MarkSoftener, wrinkling up and some not unwrinkling. I figured I wouldn't stop no matter what and just kept going. No need to find another excuse for not finishing a model. Wash is promodeller's dark and flat is Mr. Color Flat. Far from perfect I am happy to have one done. Here she is wrinkly decals and all. Thanks for looking and I hope I can put a better foot forward finish wise for ya all on my next one. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
