Big Kev Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) Just finished building this one for the Mustang Group Build on HyperScale. I'm calling it done, despite falling short in a few areas. For starters, I lost the pitot tube to the carpet monster. I also decided against any final clear coat, as my testing showed that nothing I had on hand was going to work well. Besides, I'm really happy with the NMF on this one, and I didn't want to ruin it. I decided that the patchy finish was preferable to that. Despite having a few rough edges, I like the way it turned out, and as always, have learned a few things along the way. Thanks for looking.

Jamie Cheslo Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 That's a great rendition of "Petie 2nd"! Love the NMF on her, and the decals look spot on. Weathering is nice and subtle. Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in Advance Rgds Mr b I used an old bottle of AeroMaster RLM 24, from their defunct Warbird Acrylics line. I chose this because it was all I had on hand, and figured it was a 'close enough' match for me. I'm sure there are better choices out there, as the consensus of feedback I've had so far suggests it's a little too dark, but I wouldn't have known what else to go for anyway.

Bill Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Very nice build. After watching Dogfights profile the P-51 I got the bug to build one in 08! I have the 1/32 Has in my stash just calling out my name. Maybe there will be Mustang group build in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
