discussion Academy 1/72 F-51D Mustang in Korean colours

[Guest]

I haven't made a very good job of this one but its done now. The markings are made up from two different aircraft as the decals were terrible. You will notice that there is only one side with a number under the cockpit this is because the correct numbers fell to bits as I put them on and then one of the replacement numbers did the same so only one survived. The same happened to the fuselage and wing 'roundels' out of six only three survived so there isn't one underneath the wing. There are no small decals as they just seemed to melt as soon as the decal hit the water. You will also notice that the antenna goes for a stroll sometime in the photo session. Apologies for the poor photos as I had to take them with my phone.

The build and painting look great Barry, it's a pity the decals didn't play fair for you. You could always source some more if you realy wanted too, at a later date.

Looks good to me. Nice to see a mustang in different markings.
