R Palimaka Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 That is absolutely gorgeous Mike! I've always loved the 356th FG markings, and surprised that no one has done decals for Jersey Jerk in 1/32. You've really gone above and beyond on this one. Richard MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstarr3 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Beautiful work, Mike! I especially liked your approach to modulation on the NMF. How do you find the MRP metallic colors? They look good from here. Edited July 3, 2019 by Bstarr3 MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelbay was actually mostly metal Thanks Mr.S , from what I've read, they went with the bare metal bays until there were complaints about corrosion which lead to the use of ZC on the bottom surface of the upper wing skin. The top photo in your post shows a painted upper skin. I don't know about time frames but this model is a -15. This model has plenty of little bugs but I'm just lookin' to gitterdun. 16 hours ago, Bstarr3 said: Beautiful work, Mike! I especially liked your approach to modulation on the NMF.

Out2gtcha Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Haha, ingenious solution to the small spinner stripes that IMHO need to be fairly parallel to look good, and these definitely do! MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furie Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Superb! What a magnificent camouflage, one of the most beautiful you can see on a P-51! Bravo Mike! Edited October 20, 2023 by Furie MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) @Furie Thanks Denis , it shows what I was talking about regarding clear coating silvers. With several silvers adjacent to each other, they look different because of the reflectivity from the light shining on them. If I has clear coated them , the different light reflections would have become one , making it more monotone. Hope I'm making this understandable. Thanks again.

Furie Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hi Mike. You mentioned this before and I didn't quite understand what you meant. I think I get it now and you're afraid that a varnish on different metal shades will cancel out all those different shades of metal and turn the P-51 into a dull, monotonous whole. I just found your P-51 on google : Revell 1/32 P-51D-15 Mustang "Jersey Jerk" | Large Scale Planes MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
