JohnB Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 I've built a couple of these already with each being a bit different. This is one more that has a little bit of a difference which is the name is in black while the name on the others is in yellow. Not a BIG difference but enough I think to warrant another build (and I particularly like this a/c!). That overall white color scheme really fits the P-51 in my opinion. I'll be using a Revell kit for this build. 4
Peterpools Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 John Nice choice for your next build and I'm on for the journey. You should have worked a deal for a case of Revell P-51's. 😉 1

JohnB Posted October 1, 2023 Author Posted October 1, 2023 Making good progress on the cockpit. I used a Tamiya instrument panel and laid in individual Airscale instruments. Seat belts, as usual, are FineMolds. Since this a/c is a racer, etc I removed the fuselage fuel tank and put a floor in using strip plastic. The wide prop blades are from my stash of various parts and pieces. Spinner is Grey Matter. 5
JohnB Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 Coming right along with it. Gun muzzles removed and smoothed over and wings attached. 1
JohnB Posted October 3, 2023 Author Posted October 3, 2023 Got most of the painting done and ran out of acrylic paint. The undersides still need painting so now I'll see about using some Testor's enamel gloss white. Should be okay. 1
CANicoll Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Looking good!! Have you looked at the AMUR flaps? The oil canning is amazing. 2

Peterpools Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 John Amazing as always and here I thought I was the only one who runs out of paint in the middle of a build. 1 1

LOL Peter. At least I had some Testor's Gloss White I could use to finish the paint job. I was a little leery about applying that over some areas that were already painted with acrylic but it worked out fine. Now it's set aside to allow the Testor's to thoroughly dry. 1

KevinM Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 That's a Nice finish on that white John should look good when done. 2

Peterpools Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 John Looking mighty good ... one sweet Mustang for sure. 1

Peterpools Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 John Agreed and of course, the Mustang looks so good in any color and paint scheme.🥇 1
JohnB Posted October 5, 2023 Author Posted October 5, 2023 Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19676-bardahl-special-completed/ 1
