Karls Tamiya 1/48 F/P-51D

[KarlW]

Priming done, used Alclads micro filler primer, had read that these primers not great but it sprayed straight from the bottle with no issues.

Now to check things over.

[KarlW]

Have had these Alclads in the tool box for about 7 years, first time using them today, don't know what I was scared of. Got an F-86 and a Mig-15 that have just jumped up the build queues.

Karl, looking good.

Looks good Karl. The spray very well don’t they

[KarlW]

Oh, they do indeed, definitely moving to lacquer paints, not that I have much issue with acrylics.

Love the plastic bag idea, that would save me a small fortune in masking tape:smiling:

I have run out of cling film, but the bag was actually easier being a bit heavier. Though I did snap off the antenna......

Anti glare panel done RAF dark green close enough to the OD.

And I've just realised the stars and bars are missing from the decal sheet, so off to find spares or a mask.

[KarlW]

Don't you hate it when you nip to the shed to get the tools to fix a leaking toilet, only to end up painting invasion stripes.......
"Yes dear, I couldn't find my loosening spanner.......only the tightening one."

[Mark1]

Well its an easy mistake to make :smiling5:

[KarlW]

Bench time lately is in fits and starts, hence the small progress updates.
Need to paint the prop and u/c and decal this up before some minimal waethering.
