Quiddy Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 This my first post on this discussion board. Here is a Mustang that I am building. I have used the Ultracast filletless tail conversion, along with the Black Box cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhinosd Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Nice plastic surgery. What markings are you going to use for your model of the P-51D-5; the kit supplied markings for Lou IV or something else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quiddy Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 I am doing Hoo Flung Dung/City of Paris. NMF with full invasion stripes. I am also adding new guns using needles. I also added the filler pipe to the fuselage gas tank, after I got the fuselage together and added the radio, pooof it disappeared. At least I know its there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quiddy Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hi, I finished paint the NMF part of the scheme. Next is to clear coat so I can mask off and paint the invasion stripes and squadron colors. All paints used were Model Master Acryilc. Thanks, Wayne Beattie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quiddy Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Well, I got the stripes on and the anti-glare panel painted. Next comes the overall gloss coat. Have to strip the canopy frame and repaint. Getting there!! Wayne Beattie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
