I was hoping I could get this kit out into the natural light this weekend for some glamer shots but things don't always go the way we want them to so I'm going to have to stick with the indoor shots.

OMG @ 8$ i would get 5 of them !!!

Yep, it does. THere is a spring in the gear that seems to push the suckers lower. Paint was a base of model master chrome. Over top is Alclad Aluminum with Tamiya red wings. Yep three different kinds of paint!!!

As for getting more, well it was the end of the day at the Hamilton model show and I only had 8 dollars left! Lucky the seller went with it.

Crazy, $8 for a 32 scale Mustang! Looks great

One comment, the ailerons need to be deflected in opposite directions since they are cable operated, minor thing.....

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING, Mustangs so far folks!!!!!

Since the models I build seem to revolve around paint schemes and graphics (and I'm a sign guy by trade), I am in awe of the talent shown here, ....completely blown away

:gr_hail: :gr_hail: :gr_hail:

I will probably be building up to the last day :woot.gif: ...hope to get some of my completed Mustangs photographed in a decent fashion and posted up here soon.

OK, so I figured I had better do this before I blow it and forget. So here it goes, a bit of a description, and a pair of pictures all in a couple of threads (since there is a photo limit), hope that does the trick. Build links are in my signature line. Thanks for the GB and all the support guys!!!!

#1. 1/32 Hasegawa. Modified canopy, wings and scoopectomy. Scratch built Reno Home Pylon, and all decals were printed by me.
