Fernando's little Mustang, Airfix P-51D 1/72

Hi Fernando
Glad the decals went on ok. Decals always come after a lot of hard work has been done and can make or break a model plane. As you say - Cartograf :thumb2:. Looking really good.

Nice neat job Fernando... :thumb2:

I made an Airfix 'Starter Set' Mustang earlier this year and can vouch for the fact that it is one excellent, nicely tooled, well detailed kit.

Afternoon all,

Greame, Ron and Peter thanks guys:thumb2:.
Tony, thank you, a superb kit indeed apart from the aerial and a little lower panel-line blob, the moulding was sharp and good fitting:thumb2:.
Jim, thanks:thumb2: and so true, nothing so annoying as the decals ruining all the previous work…:thinking:

Finished the last steps on this little gem last week, only didn’t find the time to post it till now, something to do with falling asleep on the couch after work each day…:upside:

When the last details were painted, I gave all the panel-lines a brown wash for the used look.
The spent-cases holes, a couple of vents on the nose and the wheel wells got a dark-brown wash for better standing out to the other wash.
Applied some soot too from Tamiya’s weathering set for the exhaust stains and around the guns.

Some satin to seal all in and the fun started to un-mask the canopy and interior, some silver found its way in but that was easily cleaned with VJ ab thinner:smiling:.
Here she is:
