1to1scale Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) You guys are going to get sick of these Mustangs! But I could not resist, right on the heels of finishing my Hobbycraft Mk.1, I got into the Revel Kit.Decals I am using..."Flying Dutchman"Step 1...Throw away Revell box and put all the sprues in a Hasegawa box leftover from my Ki84 build.So far I have just cut all the cockpit parts off the sprues, de-burred and cleaned them up, primered, and sprayed on XF5. I still have to go and spray some lightened up XF5 for highlights.

Out2gtcha Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Step 1...Throw away Revell box and put all the sprues in a Hasegawa box leftover from my Ki84 build. lol! That made me laugh. I dont really know of a single person who likes the side opening Revell boxes. What a PITA! Rick Griewski, KiwiZac, Gigant and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigant Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 lol! That made me laugh. I dont really know of a single person who likes the side opening Revell boxes. What a PITA! I just picked up the recent re-release of their older P-51B, and it has a conventional lid-and-bottom-tray box, and the decal/paint scheme option for a "Blue-Nose'r".

1to1scale Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I am still on the look out for a reusable plastic box with a lid that can be stacked, big enough to hold most kits while they are being worked and waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the container aisle at your local Wal-Mart, and/or: https://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-14138606-Layer-Stack-8-Inch/dp/B00NIVBEDA 10 5/8" @ $ 13.57 each Edited February 21, 2018 by Gigant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for something around 18x12x6. Either they are too flimsy, or they have dividers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It's nice to see another Revell Mustang being built rather than just disappearing into the stash, and like most people I am not fond of the end opening Revell boxes, I just cut out the picture on the box top and tape up the ends, or as you are doing use a box from a completed kit.

RLWP Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm building one too In a highly unusual deviation for me, I have zero research material, damn all info on how it should look and am having a ball! Maybe it isn't 'right' however it is fun Much like a paint-by-numbers 3D jigsaw puzzle Richard MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nothing exciting, just painting. I am playing with gray, green and yellow pastels here. Green is invisible, gray and yellow look similar. BrianB, Trak-Tor, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
