Bill B Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I decided to do this kit "presentation" style and the bonus is it takes up less floor space in the cabinet. The connector on the bottom of the airplane is a "mini" ball joint from RC spare parts, soldered to brass wire and glued to a small base. The kit is real sweet for $10CDN. Despite others' comments the canopy worked fine. The only thing I had to add was stretched sprue "seams" around the drop tanks. It was painted with Alclad dull aluminum on the wings, chrome and aluminum on fuselage. I painted all of the red and used kit decals. The only "miss' in the kit is the decal instructions mix up and omit some of the decals for the yellow stripes. Comments welcome. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Neat job Bill. These new tool Airfix kits are a pleasure to build are n't they? (Ever considered a disc of actetate painted up with prop blur for aircraft mounted this way....?) Your Mustang looks great on her stand, good job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Els Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Nice job. Using those RC ball joints is a great idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
