JohnB Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I got started on this build a while back but set it aside until I could locate some thin black line decals. Luckily I was able to find some on the Microscale site. 1/64 was just right for the trim along the fuselage stripe so now I've been able to complete the model. I used my computer to make the #69 and printed it out on my laser printer. I painted the model with Tamiya acrylic gloss white. The stripes are Xtracolor FS14092 medium green which, I think, matches the color on the real a/c very well. I'm very pleased with the model and I hope y'all will like it too. Please remember to click on the 1st photo for best resolution, etc. THANKS! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Sooo … #69 is the race number of this P-51 ? For a second I thought it was the number (so far) of kits you’d built this year And another 👍 for this one, John ! Hubert 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Again, a beauty John. The sleek lines of your Mustang can only be surpassed with closing the canopy. The near monochrome paintjob enhances the racehorse looks. You inspired me to build a racer too, but it sticks in the not so fast mail / customs since over a month.

Since the #69 and the N number are special made using my computer and laser printer I figure this model will be the only one around. Truly, I believe, a one off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
