Eduards 1/48 Mustang
« on: April 29, 2025, 03:21:56 AM »
For something that I though would be a quick build didn't exactly turn out that way in the end but I managed to get it done . There are a lot of errors  by my hands but I'm please with the results . It was built out of the box and for the natural mental I used Alclad II dur/alum , tamiya flat silver for the wings . And Model master exhaust steel for the exhaust panels . It was a fun build and it is the best 48 scale out on the market , The Airfix and Meng Mustangs are nice kits , built those already but this is far head of them .

Very nice all round, that's an excellent natural metal finish.

Great build of a cool aircraft.
Thanks for finishing the wing correctly as painted not polished.
Thanks,

Just found this. That looks very cool, especially the NMF - something that I have never been able to master satisfactorily. Great build.

Hmmmmm , can we just go with half correct ?

I didn't fill the panel lines on the wings but I'm hoping with kind hearts that this would be over looked and not held against me !

Thanks for the wonderful comments guys !
