    Johns 1/72 Airfix Mustangs x4 Completed

    Hi everyone here's my completed mustangs by airfix.3 off new tool . The RAF being an old tool kit.


    Paints used alclads (chrome) vallejo model air and metal colors(chrome) and even humbrol acrylic which I struggled with in the past but seemed to have improved lately.


    My first try with the the vallejo metal colors (inspired by Ian papas sabre)and they were a pleasure to use IMHO


    My favourite one is lollipoop. Do you have a favourite ?????


    Hope you like em n thanks for looking and any comments much appreciated cheers John













    I threw in a cheeky addition from a while back (hobby boss)

    Pride of place on the "special " shelf until next build comes along

    They all look fantastic John, it's good to see them all together. The build thread was enjoyable to watch too

        These are really nice, John. There are some great NMF finishes which make me keen to make a start on my own Airfix Mustang using the Vallejo metallic. You've even worked some magic on the old tool one, too.

                    You love Mustangs Son!


                    Lollipop is my favourite too, you can definitely see the difference in the new and old tool, so as you said in the build thread well done to Airfix.


                    The new Vallejo Metals review was decent work too mate so well done all round.


                    Regards


                    Phil

                              Great work on all 4 Mustangs John I like the look of Daddy's Girl, but like you say Lollypoop just looks that little bit better some how.
