Wulf Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Finished this Tam 1/48 51D today. I've been home with a bladder AND prostate infection (turning 40 is starting to suck) so I've had the time. I used Eduards PE cockpit set, a resin seat, resin wheels, piped the drop tanks and used hypo tubing for the guns. I tried Hawkeyes Talon Metallic paints for the first time. Took some time to get used to them but learned for next time. Also used the polish powders for a little extra shine. Comments welcomed... Andy
ghodges Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 SWEET 'Stang! Your NMF looks perfectly fine to me, so I can't imagine what trouble you had that you mention. Looks very crisp and sharp! Thanks for posting! GIL
VonL Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Nice one! How did you pop-out the rivets just enough? Wash? Hope you heal up fast.
Keith Pruitt Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 VERY nice! Get well soon on the other issue...
Mike Lindsey Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Scary clean build! Very nice! Love the finish. . . Mike
JeffS Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Super build up of the 'Stang. Just right on the NMF also.
Dreamsof51 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 You've done justice to a great kit. Mustangs Rule!
Wulf Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys... Andy
