Thx Frank,

 

Yep.....

 

Mals way is coming hehe, the bird is so nice and shiny and bright colors, i like that in a way, Got a ballroom on my own to play on this one its so clean, lol, but hey next stang fonna be shiny love that metal.

 

 

Got a picture in my head (snafu) Its gonna be sone new things and experiments, but the will be tested on a piece of scrap model ;) before i go live on things ;).....

 

The new rhings are Fuel stains, oilstains on the fuselage on the right side, also the exhasts will be tinted in another way ive never done in colors (depth) .....the way that youve done with that touch of redbrowninsh tint on your bf109 exhaust stains (Just lovit) Also streaks from condesed dirt/rust streak on right places ;)

 

Oh yes and a couple of

more things to, reveil it later if they are gonna be done or not (madness in my head haha)

 

This is gonna be fun, weathering and make it alive is one of my favorite things of doing,

 

Many steps and very very thin layers ;) thats the key....

So we will se how it goes from after decaling ;)

Mal, amazing job on your Mustang, i have been follow your build in silent mode, but you really nailed the NMF and the paint job is amazing, you and Peter are making two beautiful P-51's here

 

After getting used to paint with alclad, i only want to paint airplanes just with it, keep up the good work.

 

Merry christmas and best wishes for the new year to come

Episode:  Bad Things Do Happen

 

 

Ive started to mask of mask of for that "no step" line on the flap, that had to be redone since the red "cracked"....Theese things do happen, and they shure are annoying and it puts the skills to the tip to be tried, how to fix this, specially when Alclad is involved, thats something different than painted area, oh well this is how i did it.
