Glynyrd Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi all, Finished this one right before New Year's for a Christmas gift for a friend. It's the AM 1/48 Tuskegee version of the kit, found on clearance for $15 at the local Hobby Lobby! I was going to do the Tuskegee scheme, since the gift was for someone from Alabama, but I couldn't really get into it. So I went for a Checkertail Clan aircraft, and found a sideview drawing of Major Roy Hogg's (six kills) a/c. I don't believe the nickname is in the right font, but everything else seems to look ok. I couldn't get decals for the tail in time, so I painted them on. I am not a big fan of the Mustang (I believe the Corsair is better ), but it is a good looking a/c and I really enjoy the AM kits! This is the second of their Mustangs that I've built (their F-6B is the other one). Thanks Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) I love checkertails! It's even more impressive since you painted them perfectly. What NMF did you use? It looks sharp! Nice 'Stang! GIL Edited April 25, 2010 by ghodges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
