ghodges Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Oh my....that is GORGEOUS! Lovely NMF and yet it also has a "used" look to it. What paint and techniques (washes/weathering) did you use? Looks like you nailed it! GIL
TimHortman Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Nice work - thanks for sharing! I'd also like to know what you used for the NMF - I have a project about ready for paint now that I'm going to have to experiment with. (never really worked with natural metal finishes before)
Dreamsof51 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Never get tired of looking at Mustangs. Good work thanks for sharing it. Chris
Maffe Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Great work... NMF perfect. What do you use for the lines of the panels: oil, ink, ...?...or other... I'never released a Mustang...perhaps the reason is a lot of resin and p.e. lib. that are lying, togheter the gorgeous Tamy kit, in my cellar... Bona
GregWise Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Posted March 24, 2009 Hey IPMS Brothers, I wish you all the best. I'm humbled and will report that I used Alclad over Tamiya primer then a coat of future, decals, 2nd coat of future, detailer wash and 50-50 mix of Testors dullcoat and gloss coat thinned by half with lacquer thinner. After that process I accented with Derwent's pastel caulks. HTH, Greg. P.S. more details on this project posted in the ARC forum "critique corner" FWIW.
SteveK Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 THAT! has to be about the best P-51 I think I've ever seen!! Very nice aircraft. SteveK
GregWise Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Posted April 4, 2009 Well I just finished building the staff car that came with the kit . What a prize this little gem turned out to be.
ewahl Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Greg, that's a beautiful job on the staff car to go with the P-51D. I've long wanted such a staff car to replicate a scene from the Gregory Peck movie 12 O'Clock High where General Savage arrives at his new Archbury base and dresses down the gate guard for admitting him to the base without demanding to see the General's ID. The car could also be used on a flight line scene with a B-17F from the same film. Great work. Ed
TimHortman Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Great work on the staff car too Greg! I think I picked up one of those as a seperate release - glad to hear that it's a good kit.
ClareWentzel Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Greg, a really great P-51 plus the staff car. Well done!!! It looks like it should be setting on the ramp.
GregWise Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 I really like the combo boxings. I just bought the Hasegawa Nick with the Fuel truck and crew boxing and both kits are friggen sweet, Plus I got a great deal on it. And a couple other great combo kits are the Pro Modeler F-86D and tug. And the Tamiya F-4U with tug. I would like to find the Tamiya FW-190 with the car at a reasonable price.
Guest James Kelley Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 Wow! That's a gorgeous Mustang, Greg! Very, very well-executed.... Are those kit decals?
GregWise Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Posted April 7, 2009 Wow! That's a gorgeous Mustang, Greg! Very, very well-executed.... Are those kit decals? well I spend a lot of time with the ponies so that helps, but yes those excellent decals came with the kit.
