    incredible work what colors did you use for the nose blue? I have the appropriate colors from testors as directed in the decals but wondered what you used

    btw you have a superb job on basic construction this is not a shake and bake kit

    the trump model does give you seperate flaps. they were usually raised by the ground crew when on the ground although I have seen mix and match. I think for a repainted in the field ac the area under the flaps is probably camo color at least it is on the nasm ac. I think they would research their ac carefully as well

    I ended up going with the hasegawa one to start off it looked like the most usefull one to start with

    not to be critical of a beautiful realized model but that ac did not have the antenna wire.

    i did this by photocoping the decal and used it as a cutting guide. that shold give the accurtate shape you just need some stape which is flexible enough

    why not use the kit piece and use the pe t o spruce it up https://www.eduard.com/store/eduard/p-51d-engine-1-32.html

    thunnus what happend to this great build thread?
  20. dashotgun
    beautiful work I am going to follow along
  21. dashotgun
    that is amazing wish i had the skills to paint it
  22. dashotgun
    I think it looks very good as well. While the zactoman stuff is expensive I really had to have the exhausts. Quickboost makes a nice K36 seat. The master model static discharger are great and the ones provided are going to snap off in a heartbeat anyway. I have the begemot decal set it is very extensive something like 14 different aircraft. Once I decide on one or two to do will sell the remainder.

    terrific build and painting. Was this the hasegawa ? I do not remember any drama with that model?

    while no t the definitive answer here is a 2 second search on the web. For the most part I do not think they had the wiring http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/thehangar/index.php?topic=395.0
