Tolga ULGUR Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Got started on this one recently. Hobbycraft's kit is completely upscaled version of the Accurate Miniatures 1/48 Mustangs moulds. Everything same but in 1/32 scale. I decided to use Vector P-51 Mustang set to modify cockpit. This set looks really excellent in detail and casting quality. , Edited August 19, 2017 by Tolga ULGUR sandokan, Harold, mpk and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Construction started from the cockpit as usual. First step is the instrument panel. tomv87, sandokan, KiwiZac and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 This will be finished with the markings of Mustang Mk.IA FD552 ‘N' flown by Flying Officer Frank Normoyle RAAF, late May 1944 during flying training exercises in preparation for D-Day. I will post later the reference picture. mpk and DesTROYer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 huh, after building their Sea Fury I figured their kits were beyond basic...so this one is good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 huh, after building their Sea Fury I figured their kits were beyond basic...so this one is good? As I mentioned above, I can define this Hobbycraft kit as an "Accurate Miniatures P-51 Mustang" adjusted to 1/32 scale entirely. That s why some details- designed for 1/48- becomes unsufficient and rude in this scale. So I have decided to upgrade especially cockpit and got the Vector's cockpit set . It s really excellent. Additonally, all plastic parts have granular surface, meaninglessly. It needs some abrasives works before painting. Shawn M and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
