ajcmac Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Another model that is here at home for a long time. A P-51 D Tamiya in 1/32 scale. I think it is time to try to finish it. I have the parts of engine and of the interior already glued. How not like to build natural metal models will try to get a sheet of decals with other colors. I have met one, I have done the order and just hope that is still in stock. The model. Sprues. Sheet of instructions. Decals. I will not use the individual brands but only the stencils. Mask. Regards ajcmac 2
ajcmac Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Thank Doogs ATX. Already managed to get a sheet of decals. P-51D Mustang EagleCals EC-102 and intend to do the version «Ol Flak Joe». I started the engine. I was gluing by parts ... ... to finally glue everything. Wonder fittings. Almost do not notice where the parts were glued. I'll have to sand to rectify the error. Regards ajcmac 3
cib2265 Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Looking forward to this one! I hope to tackle my first 1/32 Tamiya later this year and will do the P-51, but not NMF as well - I'll be doing Passion Wagon I hope - overall RAF Dark Green top but heavily weathered, so maybe more difficult than NMF!

Thanks cib2265 . Continuing. And after I glued the engine started to interior that is what I like. Here little to glue only the two small parts in PE, the sides of the seat. I used the Interior Green mixture of Tamiya paints XF3 (2) and XF 5 (1). Regards ajcmac 1

ajcmac Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 The weathering is fantastic! Thanks JonathanReed . I received a sheet of decals. The version I intend to do is "Ol Flak Joe." Painted propeller. Regards ajcmac 2

tomv1987 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Awesome! Love the painting effects inside the fuse! Tom
ajcmac Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 Awesome! Love the painting effects inside the fuse! Tom Thanks Tom. Finally, the central set completed. Now the side panels. Regards ajcmac 2
ajcmac Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 The engine. More advances in interiors. Lack the side panels now. Regards ajcmac 2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 16, 2015 Administrators Posted May 16, 2015 Great start! Might have to get me one of these one day...
ajcmac Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 i love the crispness of the propeller! Great start! Might have to get me one of these one day... Thank you and I think that this model well worth the money I paid for it. Another advance in P-51 D. Now to close the fuselage have to finish the air ducts and radiators. It is almost . Wells and doors of the front landing gear. Rear landing gear. Almost all set. Missing apply some wear on the small wheel. Regards ajcmac 2
ajcmac Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Another finished parts. The air ducts with radiators. Air ducts that are under the engine. And it's almost. Amazing how everything fits right and nothing is glued. Regards ajcmac 3
ajcmac Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 I did not like the additional deposits painting. This time first painted glossy black, then aluminum. Machine guns. Painted black and then a kind of dry brush with graphite. Flaps and ailerons. Once'll let the engine covers open the air duct missing. A few more pieces aluminum. And for now it is all. Regards ajcmac 2
ajcmac Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Very, very nice Thanks artro219 . Completed side panel which was missing oxygen tube and the air conduits. The cockpit and engine are glued together. Glued wings. All set glue to the fuselage (finally). The fuselage with the wings. Regards ajcmac 2
