Gonna make a start on this, suspect it will take a fair number of weeks as back at work Monday, will post a various stages and hopefully get to the end.

Hi Matt
Striking paint job on these Mustangs. The kit seems to have decent reviews. I'll watch with interest.

Nice one Matt, I'll join in and watch this.

Which scale is this? I want to say 1/72 because there are only two sprues with relatively few parts, but I can’t tell from the box alone.

It’s 1/48 scale, it looks smaller on the photo than in the flesh, I must admit I expected more parts, this was an impulse purchase online to get my basket into the free delivery price bracket. Not yet successfully completing a 1/48 I thought I’d have a practice on this before attempting a mosquito

[Guest]

Slow progress or not it looks good in that office, very clean.

Nice work Matt.

 

[Matt.]

Very slow progress, been working away a lot, photos to show I am still here . Also took a weekend afternoon out to knock up a work station. Not having a spare room it was becoming a pain setting up on the dining room table

Nothing wrong with slow Matt, it's my favourite speed. The RAF livery sits well on the Mustang.

 

[Matt.]

Finally had some spare time so made some progress

 

[Guest]

Looking good.

 

[Matt.]

Another model mothballed, snapped off landing gear, might be rectifiable but decided to mothball and give mojo a boot by starting a mosquito

 

[Guest]

Sad to read Matt.
Best thing to do in this case, put if away and start another. It was looking really smart with that excellent masking .

 

[Matt.]

Thanks John, after nearly 10 weeks off I thought starting again with a model that needed a fairly major fix was not best way to start again.
