Vynce804 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Ok I couldn't resist it any longer! This was the first kit i bought when i started this great hobby a few years ago and it has been sat in my stash ever since. The reason i didn't make it was firstly i wanted to practice on some other kits first before i had the confidence to tackle it and secondly i didn't know until now what marking i wanted to do, which is always important for me as i need to visualise something as I'm going along. I have to say this is a really great kit and a complete pleasure to build I've made a start on the cockpit and engine and I'm about ready to close the fuselage. More instalments soon i hope.

Vynce804 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi All, A little more progress. The fuselage is together as are the wings and the main wheel wells are painted but not weathered. This kit is a dream to build, so well engineered and the fit of the main components is very impressive. Hopefully get the wings mated to the fuselage next and into paint before too long!

Gerhard Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Looks so much better than the 1/24 Trumpeter I am busy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat14 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Super Nice work on the Mustang Matt. Chris Causey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Beautiful work - got a couple of those in the stack too. Must get one started soon. Every time i start a 1/32nd Tamiya kit I'm thinking "why do I ever build anything else?" MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Coming along nicely. Looking at that spinner, I'd guess 19 Sqn? Edited July 19, 2018 by MikeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hi Mike, good guess but I’m actually going to finish it as a 353rd fighter group machine. 19squadron did indeed have a similar black and yellow banded spinner but the colours are reversed when compared to the 353rd. cheers Matt MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
