As promised. Exhaust stubs need a bit more work yet.

Re: Softscience Labs 2.5
Thanks, all.
Much progress over the holiday weekend.
first the mustang.
Looks cool from up top.
The gear looks pathetic though. No gusto!
C'MON AIRFIX! What is this?!

Re: Softscience Labs 2.5
And more of the Defiant. A bit heavy on the leading edge chipping. But I think I can tone some of it down.
Bottom looks good

Re: Softscience Labs 2.5
Oh yes, two great looking builds. What's the score with the P-51's landing gear Ralph? you might think I'm missing the obvious but not really being an expert on the type I'd have to say that it looks OK from here - do you think is it a bit on the weedy side? oleos too thin? wheels too small?

Your surface modulation is always so good Ralph, the Defiant is going to look amazing

Re: Softscience Labs 2.5
Why thank you, James. Its all in the tinted clear coats. It actually looks better IRL than on the photo.
Some light washes on this one too.
Shaun, the mustang legs are weedy, twisted and have a slightly droopy, melted look to them. I'll look into replacing them at some point, but I'm not sure I want to invest anymore money into what was an inexpensive kit.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

It is MY paint! Stay back!

Thanks for the info, rest assured I will buy my own tin!
And I agree about the Mustang u/c; very difficult to get it to point straight ahead without having to twist it into line!

Re: Softscience Labs 2.5
P-51 looks very good! whats the point with the landing gear? (I´m doing the same and I try to correct "some" if I need)
Defiant is amazing!
