vvwse4 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 After quite a while I am back in the game. I moved to another part of the country and got myself a brand new cave. So now it is Mustang time. I have the Trumpeteer kit in my stash and it will do just the trick, I know that there are quite some issues with this kit but I will go with what the kit has to offer, no aftermarket adventures planned just straight out of the box. I want to make a plane with the Malcom hood but not sure yet which one, pictures are most welcome! Right now I am in the process of filling a truckload of rivits, a slow but hopefully rewarding job. A lot of subassembly's are done but not much to show for yet. I am not a fast builder so this will take some time. Thanks for looking Rick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Ding Hao wore a Malcolm hood later in its career, so this might be an option if you want a classic OD/NG USAAF finish, I've got this lined up in 1/72. From a quick google search the marking between the two were little different & Colonel Howard with his Ding Hao would make a thouroughly worthy subject imho. Steve.

vvwse4 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Middle in the proces of filling rivets and panel lines. Not very happy with the topwing so I need to give that another coat of mr. Surfacer. While cleaning up the attic I found a dtailset from J. Rutman. Although designed for the Revell kit it looks a lot better than the cockpit Trumpeter provides. So out goes the Trumpeter parts and the carving starts for the aftermarket. So far OOB I am afraid... Back to the sanding.... Rick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
