F-51D "Was that too fast?" Airfix 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

At the beginning I was not very motivated by the build because the comparison with the armastangs I started in parallel was not fair...

But well... At the end I am pretty happy with this rather simple build.

I am not used to Braille scale so to say... But I enjoyed it.

Mostly from the box with 3d printed hvar, arma mustang plastic wheels, kit decals.

Painted in Tamiya Lp11/lp38 for the wings. Mr hobby super chrome silver on the fuselage, later coated with satin gx114 varnish to break the metallic shine.

Oil weathering.

Oh and I had to remove the clear parts and replace them with Tamiya ones.

I managed to get cement infiltration on the windshield, and ugly white marks on the joint line of the canopy.

Pics taken with canon 800d, transfered and a bit processed on my smartphone.

Cheers!
