docdodj01 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 So after trying to look for a suitable replacement, I used a ben, and cut staple wire, then superglued a bead from a bag of dessicant silica. Will paint it black later once the superglue dries. Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr So that's it for now. Hopefully I can primer the kit by tomorrow, crossing fingers.

docdodj01 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Major update on my build. Paint is on!, I used Vallejo metal color for the aluminum. Decided to just use one shade for the mustang, but I did use steel form Vallejo to create the different panel over the exhaust area.

docdodj01 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Afterwards, I decided to paint the invasion stripes on the wings and fuselage, and the flaps Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr MikeC, LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Great progress Doc! The NMF looks excellent, and the stripes really make things pop. Would you happen to have link to the Master barrel set you got that included the gun ports? TIA and well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdodj01 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 At this point, I decided to measure the sizes of the artwork that I'll use. Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr LSP_Kevin and Model_Monkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdodj01 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 So after measuring twice on the sizes of the artwork, I decided to paint the antiglare in OD, and the red nose for the aircraft. After some thought, I also decided on using the dropped flaps, so I had to paint the also in invasion stripes Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr That's it for now, next up: tails stripes and serials using stencils!

docdodj01 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks so much for the comments. Anyways, I'm down to the final stretch. Decals are on! The airframe markings are a mix of the revell ones and spares, deciding on those most likely still up on the airframe after invasion stripes was placed on the aircraft. Unfortunately, there are no accurate 1/32 decals for Emerson's mustang, especially the striking Donald duck artwork. So I looked at different sources, chose the most accurate, and made my own artwork. Decals are printed, I just need to paint the tailplane/rudder recognition stripes before I put on the decals Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr Untitled by Docdodj, on Flickr LSP_Kevin, TorbenD, Model_Monkey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
