JohnB Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I have always liked the Bout One Mustangs of the ROK AF so now that Tamiya has provided us with the needed decals and bits needed to build one I'm going to get with the program and model this one flown by Dean Hess. Should make a eye catching model. 13
BlrwestSiR Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Nice John! Always cool to see different markings on a Mustang. Carl 7

Peterpools Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 John Having built a trio of Tamiya Mustangs, finding a unique scheme and markings keeps adding to the variety of markings and interest. Going to be a great build to follow. Keep 'e comin Peter 7

Peterpools Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 John Just a thought but maybe you can mount a light weight plexiglass or two on the wall above your glass display cases. Keep 'em comin Peter 4

Peterpools Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Hi John This time around, I'm trying to use kit decals myself as they have improved quite a bit and hwlps save a few dollars in the fund towards new platic Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Interesting! I'm very curious to see how they'll look, once on the model. I always hear horror stories about the being too thick. Interestingly enough, Cartograf decals are not the thinnest, either, but I have never seen anybody griping about them. Or I just haven't seen them doing it! 1
