scvrobeson Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, In between LSP projects, I do dabble in the other scales. The most recent build has been of Eduard's 1/48 Mustang Mk.IV. It really is a good kit, but there was a number of small issues with the build and the kit. Odd amount of flash and sink marks for a brand new kit, but it did go together beautifully. The landing gear definitely gave me trouble, I ended up having to replace them with the Brassin gear due to breaking one of the legs. Also used the Eduard resin gunsights and paper tanks, along with the Barracuda wheels and cockpit stencils. Also added a few Xtradecals stencils to supplement the Eduard sheet. The landing gear bay was done with Miryoku masks, a wonderful help for that area. Paint was a mix of Alclad, Gunze, and MRP Please let me know what you think.

Daywalker Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Excellent work Matt, funny how much the Eduard kit looks like the bigger Tamiya kit built up without anything near it to give them scale. Love how this one turned out! scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acarothers896 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Wow! Beautiful build. Love the weathering and the different shades of the natural metal finish. I was not familiar with Miryoku Masks and their wheel well masks. Nice products. Did you buy the wheel well masks directly from Miryoku Masks, or is there an American distributor of their products?

I think they were only 8 or 9 dollars, so a good value as well. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Thank you everyone for your kind comments on the Mustang. I have a couple more of them to do in the stash, I'll try to improve on the next one. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javlin1 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Looking really Nice Matt I have 3/4 of these in the stash and the build-up of the gearbays is different esp. for a 1/48.I do like how Eduard supplied stencils for the pit/radio to jazz it up. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
