BarryWilliams Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Thanks for adding me to this forum. This is my build just completed this evening. Tamiya 1/32 P51D Mustang Passion Wagon, using Kits World decals Apart from Eduard Steel Seatbelts and the decals this was OOB. My third and last Tamiya P51 build though I do have a Zukie Mura P51D in the stash to build at some point. Paints: MRP using H&S airbrush with .4 needle and Vallejo for brush painting details. AKI washes and pigments used. There are lots of photos of this aircraft on line but are mostly after D Day. My depiction is before D Day, before a tail fillet was retrospectively fitted and with just 6 kills. Sources are split on whether she had white ID stripes on the wings and I chose to depict her without. I hope you like her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Nice Barry. It might sound sacrilege to some but I think I prefer the OD finish to the NMF on the Mustang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryWilliams Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I do agree with you but according to most sources this aircraft was painted in RAF colours so I used RAF DK/MSG. My other two Tammy Mustangs, one was a 112 Squadron RAF aircraft that was painted in OD/NG using the 'Firewall' camo pattern and the other was a NMF machine One quick pic of each.... As you can see I like interesting nose art... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Welcome to that polystyrol haunted place Barry, that is a really nice 'gal' you finished there. There are not too many of theese olive drab Mustangs around, so it is a nice one for a change. Nice job of blending the colors subtely. Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 i love the ultra matt finish and the way you have made a monotone finish interesting the only let down are the wheels - the centre seam line shows up and could have done with some AM replacements, given the quality of the rest of the kit and what you have done to it thanks again for sharing Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
