dani7705 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Hi gents, Here is my latest finished build... I used these aftermarket items: - cockpit & wheelbay from Aires - propeller & spinner - after a little correction of spinner diameter - from Eduard - upper gun covers & drop tanks from Tamiya´s P-51D - main wheels with oval pattern from Barracuda - tail wheel from Eduard I puttyied the rivet and some panel lines on the both halves of main wing as shown in the picture from the production line which I found on the web.After drying the putty,I sanded and polished surface of main wing,it was a horrible & neverending work. Next,I corrected the guns position in the main wing and position of signal lights too.I am added the fuel pipe lines on drop tanks and some cables into the wheelbay and cockpit from lead wire. For NMF I used Alclad II paints,for spraying insignias & some details MRP,Humbrol & Tamiya acrilic paints.The stencils are from HGW Wet transfer.The weathering I made with heavy deluted tamiya acrilic paints and water color pencils.The surface of the kit is sprayed with a lot of thin layers of Humbrol satin warnish. Thanx for watching... Edited August 15, 2020 by dani7705 discus, billwinkes, Landrotten Highlander and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani7705 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Thank you very much for all responses! The pilot of this Mustang in August 1944 in my opinion was Col.Charles E.McGee from 302nd. Fighter Squadron of the 332nd. Fighter Group...
