JohnB Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I decided to repaint this a/c in a USAAF scheme from Italy. Not a lot to it since the model was already built. I just removed the decals, did some fine sanding, and re-painted in the scheme I wanted. Decals are left-overs from previous Hobbycraft P-51 builds. 🙂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Oh man, tough call for me since both are beautiful builds! I would have to do both! You know, that “do both” gets me in a lot of trouble with multiple kits in the stash. 😱 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, that “do both” gets me in a lot of trouble with multiple kits in the stash. 😱 Understood Scott. I had been thinking about this re-do for a good bit and decided now was a good time to go on and do it. I'm also considering doing a re-work on one of my KH AT-28D builds. I'd have to remove the underwing pylons, fill and smooth out the locating holes, remove the seat armor and gun sight among a few other things. It would be a bit more involved than the P-51 re-do but we'll see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 John Terrific choice on your Mustang redo - looks mighty good in her new paint scheme. Surely going to be a nice project on the T-28 redo's as well. Looking forward to following your progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Thank you Peter. I think it turned out okay. I hope the T-28 will work out fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 No question the T-28 will work out just fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it pretty well disassembled (removed ordinance racks,puttied and sanded placement holes, prop, canopys, seats/armor backing, gun sight, etc. Now waiting for SB to send me a canopy mask set.) In the mean time I've started a Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E based at Darwin early in the war. I'll start a thread in a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
