Stinger16 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Here is my newest build, This is the fantastic Tamiya P-51 mustang using eagle-editions decals. I added a few extra items to the build such as the battery wiring behind the seat, hgw seatbelts, barracuda cockpit decals and adding a little plumbing for the drop tanks. My mustang was painted using alclad dura-aluminum for the wings, aluminum for the airframe and contral surfaces and dark aluminum in a few other spots, the black and white invasion strips were by Mr Paint and, the blue nose is from Mr Paint su-27 dark blue. I added some weathering to it using a flory wash, and then tamiya pastels for the exhause stain and gun ports, then the blue was given a semi-matt finsih. i hope u guys like my build here, questions and comments are welcome jeff Edited November 5, 2016 by Stinger16 Tnarg, Whitey, Shaka HI and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe66 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Fantastic build ! ...If the P-51 isn't the best looking fighter of the period, I must be blind. Your build really illustrates that well. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
