CANicoll Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Build of a Tamiya kit, this time the 1/48 Mustang III kit paired with the Techmod decal sheet. A great subject matter that doesn't get a lot of attention in the bigger kits. The Mustang III's were very interesting in their camo and markings. Edited June 10, 2015 by CANicoll andromeda673, D.B.

LSP_Kevin Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Another lovely build, Chris! I have this one in the stash too, though I plan to turn it into "Princess Elizabeth". Kev MikeC and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Kev, Ohh, that is a good one but I wanted one with the Malcom Hood. I started looking around for another kit to put in the stash as they are really fun builds. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your WIP soon! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Actually, there's a thought - I never bothered to check if my kit has the correct style of hood in it! Better sort that out, I guess... Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev The pics I've seen of the Princess only show the normal hinged but there has to be a Malcom Hood plane somewhere to do if that is what you wanted. I liked the British camo outline and had a set of the old masks from Cutting Edge I used. They were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks Chris. I'm planning the build in honour of my wife, so there's a specific reason to do "Princess Elizabeth". I have the decals already. I'm planning to do it in 1/32 as well, but without a decent kit or ready-made decals, it'll be a lot more work.

CANicoll Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Kev, Very nice for your wife. I named a B-17 I did after mine. Not sure she thought it was much of an honor tho (maybe it was the accompanying nose art...) The B/C cockpit, ugh. I can't imagine how to do that on a 1/32 kit. But if I could find a 1/32 B/C/Mustang III I'd scoop it up in an instant! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nice. I have a few ICM Mustang kits to get at (nice kits, in my opinion), and one of them will be an RAF machine. CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found that kit online and that kit does have the Malcom hood included. In my closet I have the Dragon 1/32 P-51D kit that I have not started yet. Inside I found a set of the Pyn-Up decals from Cutting Edge I had also bought years ago. Have you built either the Trumpeter or Dragon 1/32 Mustang kits? If so, how are they to build? Thx!

Chris Hi Chris, I have an example of each of the Trumpeter and Revell B/C kits, but I'm still not sure which one I'll use for "Princess Elizabeth". Possibly the Trumpeter kit, since it'll just be a decal carrier, and needs less work overall than the Revell kit. I haven't built a Mustang in 32nd scale since I was a kid, and that was the Revell P-51B kit, ironically (the one with the "Shangri-La" box art, IIRC). I've got a Dragon kit in the stash (thanks, Karim!), but haven't built it yet. I've also got a Tamiya kit and a couple of Hasegawa builder's kits somewhere (thanks Mark!), so I really should get on and build them some day! Seeing what so many of the guys here do with these kits is a bit intimidating, though. Kev Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
