Anthony in NZ Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hi all, as many of you know I have had a challenging few months with sickness, redundancy, new job, writing my vehicle off in an accident with my son in the car etc. I have been off the forums for a while but needed a 'Quick Build' to get my Mojo going. Here I present you with the Tamiya 1/32 Mustang I decided to build for a good friend who has been my certifying engineer on my own 1:1 Auster T.7 rebuild. This was their family's plane in the late 60's early 70's. She sadly got sold overseas and now flies with Kermit Weeks as "Cripes A Mighty 3rd" She was much admired and loved by the public and owners before she left our shores. She was always well presented and kept in immaculate condition. I tried to build OOB but ended up using some of Roy's (Barracuda Studios) bits and Ventura Publications gorgeous new decal sheet. I have to say the quality of Ventura here was amazing. I also used Mr Color for all the paint. Sorry I didnt do a WiP as I was just doing it for mental health reasons....and actually finished it LOL! Anyway I hope he and you guys like it. I suspect it will be gone in a week or 2. Back to the 32nd RAF FG.1 conversion again now! Thanks for looking Outside shots taken this morning Because she was so beautifully maintained and cleaned after each flight I really struggled no to weather some more....

IainM Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 That is some really crisp work there @Anthony in NZ Building an un-weathered aircraft shows off the building and painting ability - no hiding anything , and that is absolutely gorgeous on all fronts!! Well done!!! Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Wow that’s gorgeous - the Mustang looks gorgeous in whatever scheme it wears but this is particularly eye catching. Great work! And it’s great to see you back in the saddle after what sounds like a rough few months. Tom Jack and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
