EmreEfli Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone, I'll jump in the wagon with the Accurate Miniatures kit. I have been away from modelling for some months now as I was getting married and moving my house. This will be a come-back build for me. The Accurate Miniatures kit looks good at a first glance. To spice up things, I decided to use an Ultracast resin seat in the cockpit. The interiors were painted with Gunze's Zinc Chromate color. I also plan to add Ultracast exhausts and early style smooth wheels. After I mask the canopy, I will be ready to spray primer and then get the paint booth going. Next week is an official holiday week in Turkey, maybe I can even get it done? Edited August 30, 2011 by EmreEfli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EmreEfli Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Taking advantage of the holidays, I managed to get the painting done. Topside is Gunze Sangyo H-52 Olive Drab, while the undersurfaces are H-53 Neutral Gray. The yellow ID bands are slighlty crooked, I made a small (1.5mm) error, so they are not symmetrical. I think I'll leave it as it is. Now onto gloss coat and the decals! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLMES Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 EmreEfli, WOW !!! I really love the seatbelts...The work is very neat and I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Mustangs and this is going to be A SWEET build...Good work so far. HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yeah that's looking great as has been said. Fast too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EmreEfli Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks guys. Holmes, I can't get credit for the seat or the seatbelts, all credit should be due to Ultracast for their superior product. (The only funny thing is I got this kit from a surplus discount sale and with the current $/Turkish Lira rate, the seat costs as much as I paid for the kit! :) ) I have made very small progress, but will probably get more done tomorrow. Will post an update when I get something done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EmreEfli Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 A little further... Clear coat on, decals on, another clear coat on. Now I will apply a wash to the panel lines and details, apply matt coat and make some weathering. Should be done by next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Emreefli, It is what you do with the product that counts and I still think the seat belts ARE GOOD. The Mustang is looking impressive so far..Nice clean neat work on the decals.. Keep up the good work. HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
