Revell 1/32 P-51D-5NA Mustang

[Nikola Topalov]

Well folks, I didn't believe that I will say this after about a year and a half but she is ready for inspection! 

 

OOB with Eduard Look IP and seatbelts.

Painted with Tamiya, Gunze and Vallejo paints.

Weathered with various filters, Tamiya, Ammo and Vallejo washes, Prismacolor silver pencil, AK weathering pencils and Vallejo and Revell pigments.

 

I am very satisfied with the end result, with a couple of mistakes made which I can live with. I enjoyed the process very much and learned some valuable lessons for the future. 

 

Best,

Nikola

Nice weathering on the olive drab looks right. Not easy to pull off, well done.

You certainly can't have enough Mustangs, especially if they're as nice as that.
