Looks like a lot of awful seams.

Shaping up nicely.

Hi Ken , yes there is a lot of seems but they were quick work and didn't take long to resolve so I moved on to the painting stage since the airbrush was already out .

The undersurface is sprayed Tamiya XF Neutral Grey and the upper surfaces I sprayed Tamiyas lacquer Olive Drab 2 . The spinner and blades are their acrylic line . I have touch ups on the spinner . I have issues this time with the masking . Rest of the parts are ready for further detail painting and weathering . I did dip the canopy parts in future I just need to mask and spray them with pretty colours ! And I haven't even started the exhaust yet  :o

Yes, the subtle shading around the panel lines yields a nice effect.

Thats really cool Terri. I don’t know why but I like the olive drab planes much more than the bare metal ones. I have the new Revell 1:32 P-51 in my stash and will keep on watching this build as a reference.

Thanks for dropping by Andreas , glad to have you following along . You will like building the Revell kit , it has really nice detail and the fit is pretty good . Do you recall my 32 scale build on the forum here ?


The basic scheme decals are finished being applied , stenciling is still left to go . Will be using ones from a Tamiya kit ( Have mega spares of these )
