longmc Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Just a quick update - I got the wings on the vallejo mustang as well as the airfix build. http://Dual mustangs by Mike Long, on Flickr Both wings have been puttied and sanded. I puttied the tamiya just to see how it looks. The Airfix build had such bad fit around the gun ports I figured I might as well putty the rest of the wing. Hopefully I can get the wing joins cleaned up and polished before I head back out of town for a week. thanks for watching! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Well, a year and a half later this project is complete. It didn't turn out how I had envisioned, but I learned a lot and gained some new skills. It changed over time, I switched to one Tamiya and one Airfix. The Tamiya was build using AK extreme metals over a Tamiya gloss black primer. The Airfix was Vallejo metal paints over a Vallejo gloss black primer. I found both paints turned out very well. The Vallejo was easiest to use, as it was water based. Also, the variations in color was more noticeable than the AK paint. I liked the AK paints better, and were very durable. I used Aeromaster decals on the Airfix mustang with no issues. I used Repliscale decals for the Tamiya, and they were terrible (as my other post showed). Anyway, here are the final results. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Edited April 14, 2020 by longmc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
