A great pair of models Henry and hopefully the new owner will be very pleased with them - I would be for sure!

Thank you all for your comments.

Retaking old projects, I remember my P-51 Israelí versión and AVIA S_199 KP old mold, so I decide to finish them

Image
I retake the not so bad for the age, AVIA, and made a kind of Frankestain, put some Heller K4 parts, G resin interior, and some
other parts.

Image
Sprue, resin... etc.

Image
I use the HATAKA set for the Israeli first years camo, wich I find completely wrong, brown looks like orange!

Image
I decide to "give it a chance" and apply the blue (that looks better)... but definitively is orange!

best regards

Henry

I think the brown looks right. It might be a little brighter for scale effect? Maybe a dark wash can tone it down?

What a beautiful pair of models - superb work on both of them. You've weathered them very nicely!

The Avia is looking lovely also.

The pictures of the Dakota and gladiator together...simply amazing. At first I thought I was looking at photos from an airplane museum. Honest!

You're an incredibly talented modeler.

Tnak you all!

Softscience! thank you very much for your words! :-D

About the AVIA, I think my pictures are very bad, but believe me the color looks orange! so, I just made a mix and paint it again.

Image
From this, I toned down to that!

Image
this color is a little darker than the one in the P-51, but this allowed me to make some effects

Image
there are both aircraft ready for the underside grey, you can see the P-51 is just a touch lighter!

Image
This is how the AVIA looks with the paint direct from the HATAKA botle.

Image
Italeri make this area absolutely difficult to work on, so I decide cut the flaps, and made them in metal sheet.

Image
Tamiya masking for curves (white) works very good.

best regards

Superb work Henry! It's great to see a 109 AND a P-51 in the same scheme - good old IAF!

These are an interesting pair of builds Henry and I look forward to seeing more of them. Great work with the camo schemes!

Hello to all, and thank you, those are real nice schemes! I´m not sure if the AVIA was blue or not, but... can´t confirm that.

David, the Tamiya white tape works real good, and save times in cases like the P-51

Image
my effort trying to correct the almost incorrigible Italeri P-51 radiators zone!

Image
not good, but far better than the kit.

Image
there is a "step" that I don´t like, but, "landed" nobody gonna note it.

You're cracking along very nicely here and doing that old KP Avia way more justice than it deserves!

Wow! Very cool.

Are you using the Airfix legs for the Mustang? They gave me a lot of trouble on my kit. The plastic was very soft, and they kept twisting and bending.

Hello, thank you gnome! I decide to give that all kit a try, since, I allways believe that the work that KP do in those years, was very good, considering all the facts!

Softcience, no, I´m not using Airfix legs, but I read that many people has troubles with that? I´m considering to reinforce them before glued to the kit!

Image
Decals process almost ready on the AVIA, sharing the platform with the EXCELLENT airfix new jeep, from the C-47 box.

Image
I´m really impressed with this little gem! It is the first 1/72 Jeep, that looks like a Jeep!

Image
P-51, AVIA, and Jeep, almost ready for the weathering, just needs some few more steps!

Regards
