KitmodellerNZ Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, I have just completed Revell's 1/32 P-51D early Mustang. This was OOB with the exception of the HGW textile harnesses. I used Tamiya acrylics and lacquers, Vallejo Metal Color, Windsor & Newton oils and AK weathering products. I really enjoyed this build, fit issues aside. I decided to use the supplied decals rather than masks for this build. The quality of the decals is fantastic. I believe they're Cartograf. I used flat and semi-gloss clear coats to represent the sheen in the areas of the hotly debated 'was it blue or was it green?' topic.

Collin Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Beautiful Pony, I just picked this kit up. You can’t beat the price. Regarding fit problems, can you share what they are so I don’t step on the same landmines. Cheers Collin KitmodellerNZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needed a bit of sanding to get it to sit nicely and then filling as there were a couple of decent gaps. Nothing major to fix. The tail insert needed a bit of sanding to get a nice profile, again nothing major. The rest was just minor filling of joins. The wings fitted beautifully along the wing root though.
