Looking lovely Fernando.
Afternoon all,
Greame, Ron and Peter thanks guys
.
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.
Jim, thanks and so true, nothing so annoying as the decals ruining all the previous work…
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…
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
.
Here she is:
And as a link to the previous starter set GB with the Mustang IV from then:
Thanks for looking in and I’ll add more pics to the completed section.
