discussion Karls Tamiya RAF Mustang III (Lee's P-51 GB)

[KarlW]

Not my best, happiest with the office, would spray rather than use decals for stripes in future. First go with flory weathering wash and impressed enough.

Nice finish Karl. :thumb2:

View attachment 467872 Love it Karl .
I was impressed with both your finish and Flory Washes. Find them good to use with that ability to thin or even remove if not right .

Very well done Karl!

 

[Jim R]

Very nice Karl. The wash certainly looks to have worked well.

Cheers all, but now in the cold light of day, after my coffee, I realise I haven't attached the pitot, or rear view mirror or even unmasked the landing light...........

Still looks good to me….I never noticed. They are the bits I usually knock off before I get to this stage anyway

Same here, that's why they're still on the sprue..........

Yep, like that a lot, lovely stuff
That wash really sets it off.... think I'll try that myself on my Defiant

A good-looking build, all nice and tidy.

Brilliant Finish Karl. You deserve the Dogs award from the Race Towers. Thanks for joining the GB. We enjoyed watching you build this beautiful bird.

Sorry I'm late to the finish of this Karl. I never would have known that it was missing pieces or had masks to be removed. Hell, I don't even know the difference between a pitot tube and a spittoon. All I see is a fantastic finish, great painting top decals, and a most excellent clear canopy!!! How did you get it to be so clear??? Future???

Prost

Cheers Allen, no treatment on the canopy, just kept it in the bag until the last moment then masked it as soon as possible. Liquid mask left a bit of a residue so that was rubbed at a bit with my thumb.
I am tackling a canopy with polish soon though.
