MDuv Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Hi Gentlemen: @Michael931080 @Model_Monkey @Rockie Yarwood @Troy Molitor @Out2gtcha @Memir @Kagemusha @allthumbs @MikeC @dodgem37 @Jeff T Thank you guys for your heartwarming comments On 10/26/2021 at 2:36 PM, Daywalker said: Amazing work, I was stunned by those ultra-miniature stencils for the kill markings! Love the filth on the wings, very well done. How did you achieve those dirt effects, and what did you use for the NMF? Hi Daywalker, thank you, NMF was done with Tamiya metal lacquers. Mainly LP70 Gloss Alu for the fuselage, tinted with several shades for the paneling and LP38 Flat Alu for the wings. The wear on them was done with several (a lot) of spattered tamiya panel liner, then treated to look even more spattered with an old flat brush. Lot of love on them. Cheers On 10/26/2021 at 6:43 PM, nmayhew said: Looks beautiful but the actual airframe has some stripe / stripes clearly visible on the wing? Hi, Yeps this bird did sport checkers on the wings, but as stated in the introduction, not at the time depicted. I am not aware of stripes over it ? have you any info I dont have ? Cheers. 9 hours ago, MikeMaben said: Super finish Mathieu, can't believe the size of those swasteekerz. Did you cut those on a Cameo ?? Hi Mike, Thanks a lot! Yeah Cameo was kind enough to produce 1 good set of evilcrosses out of 5 attempts. Considering the size I felt happy it worked. Cheers.

Thanks Jaro, Yeps I was quite happy with how it turned out in the end. Just took me about 2 mustangs build to get it this way :-) Wont show the first one :p 3 hours ago, John Stambaugh said: "She's not perfect " but man you got her mighty close. Great photography also.

nmayhew Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Hi not talking about the chequers on the wing tips, i am talking about on the wings closer to fuselage look at the pic you first posted inboard of the guns - is that not a white stripe and then a dark stripe on the wing going from inboard to outboard does look to be something there for me but i can’t see anything in a quick trawl of other original B&W pics of this bird …maybe an interesting trick of the light the build looks wonderful btw Nick Edited October 29, 2021 by nmayhew Re-assessing what i can see!

No other pic I have studied show any hint of a black stripe. Landers's 1st assigned plane did sport them however at some time: Btw, thank you for your comments, and the discussion it brings.

nmayhew Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Hi Mathieu, Yes I think that is correct - it is the shadow! I agree that no other picture shows any stripes like this so what you say is logical and I believe the correct explanation. Sorry to get in the way of your wonderful build - and it just that - wonderful!!

It’s made out of a dish plate bought at cheap furnitures store. I used the contour feature of the silhouette to get the even wood border.
