Larry Trout Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Just finished the Revell P-51 Mustang Early. Painted to represent Maj. Preddy's 'Cripes a Mighty 3rd'. Added Yahu instrument panel HGW seat belts & dingy Eagle Editions decals Barracuda oval tread tires & wheels Barracuda cockpit decals Added Tamiya sliding canopy Riveted fuselage, tail & wing control surfaces Added plumbing, wiring , uplocks & brake lines to MLG & wheel bays. Added details, plumbing & wiring to cockpit & radio rack Added drop tank plumbing & sway brace details Painted with Tamiya AS-12 decanted for wings & fabric control surfaces & Alclad II for fuselage & metal surfaces. Varied panels, but hard to see in photos. Nice kit, didn't have any fit issues. Kit canopy is still distorted though. All comments welcome & thanks for looking 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothar Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 As I said elsewhere, that's a stunning build with an immaculate finish. I wish I could come close to that level of perfection. Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2020 Yeah it's a bit of a tricky kit, but oh man are the results stunning. I'm ready to do another, and this may be my scheme. The only thing I'll add is the amazing AMUR Reaver flaps. Are those the kit decals?? Flawless work! Congrats! may I put this on our Facebook page? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
