jgreiner 1 Posted March 24, 2012 Joe, that is just ridiculously good!!! Seriously man, that's without a doubt one of the best P-51D's of any scale I've ever seen. I've honestly been debating which markings to use on my Tamiya kit (whenever I get to it!) and I think you've just convinced me to do the RAF Dk. Green Old Crow. Plus, knowing how much of a true gentleman Bud Anderson is, how can one not in some small way pay tribute to him?! Congrats on a great build and thanks for the tips 'n tricks along the way!

Cpig 9 Posted March 24, 2012 Mark, Ron, Out2 and Harv, thank you all very much. Joe, that is just ridiculously good!!!

John John, Thank you, that means a lot to me. I'm happy to hear you are going to do "Old Crow", I still prefer the camo aircraft over the NMF and that's one of the reasons I chose this one over Old Crow silver. I'll probably do the NMF version later though. If you ever want to try the masking process just let me know and I'll give you my LSP member discount.

Ya know, I was honestly going to contact you about the masks and now I most definitely will! (PM on the way). I do have the old Mustangs International sheet with the markings on them, but I'm SO impressed with how the masks look, I'm going to give it a try. I've been a tad intimidated about trying masks......no idea why.....so sleep well knowing you've now pushed me over the edge! John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpig 9 Posted April 1, 2012 Well, I'm callin her finished even though I still have a couple minor touch ups to do and the micro crystal clear hasn't dried yet. Here are a couple shots, rest of em are in the "Ready for Inspection" thread here: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=39047 Finished tires with flat earth paint, then sanded off rubber mold line and most of the paint. FInished by using circle mask to hand paint whitewalls per Bud Anderson's tires. 1 Tomek reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
