Qvarre Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hi I have worked on this for long time now and now I’m ready to send in pics for you to see. So here it is.The fuselage and wings are sanded and polished so the frosted surface is gone. The inside is getting some new details. The floor is corrected and the radiounit is detailed Cheers Lars Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LSP_Jay L Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Beautiful work Lars! I love the effect of the worn paint over the wood. Brialliant work so far. All the best, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanH Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Looks really nice Lars. The wearing of the wood floor is especially cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Looks great Lars. The placards really busy up the cockpit. The worn paint on the floor effect is indeed very nice. Looks like you're having fun. Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Lars, Beautiful work on your Mustang. The subtle effect of your colour application is very effective. The detailing and markings are very neat and sharp (especially the rivet detail). I look forward to seeing more. Regards Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qvarre Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks Guys for the kind response. I´ll send in more pics of the progress. i will probably go for an swedish scheme from 1950. That mean all metal and olive antiglare front of the cockpit. cheers Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qvarre Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi Time for some updates. New positionlights was made from leadfoil Tamyiapaints and epoxyglue. The bezels made from Plisticard nad a punchset. Next week I will glue together the fuselagehalves and tha wing.Then will the work begin to touch up any flaws in the body. I will not do anything about the engine, I want this machine "unopen". the marking for this P-51 will be Swedish.The plane "Sierra Sue II" did land in Sweden durin the war, and ended up in the Swedish Royal Airforce as (Gul Kalle) Yellow K from F4. Decals comming from Flying Colours, He had or has the decal in 32-scale on ALPS form and the Swedish Crowns. You will find the references for most of the Swedish Mustangs in this book. The book have an english summary, so you don´t need to learn Swedish to read it. Until next time Cheers Lars Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thjo Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi! A small correction Lars. Sierra Sue II didn´t land in Sweden during the war. It arrived in Sweden in 1947-48 in the last batch bought as surplus. /Thord Hi Time for some updates. New positionlights was made from leadfoil Tamyiapaints and epoxyglue.
