Pauls Sharp Toothed 'Tang

Post by IrishAir »

After 10 days of gruelling exams it's time to kick back and relax and what better way to do that than with a GB.
I'm in with this,

You will enjoy this one Paul, it's a lovely kit with no pitfalls.

Got the cockpit done up, the green plastic was very hard to cover and I'm dreading the main painting stage.

Hope to get the fuselage closed up later today.

Paul

The cockpit has been installed, I must say this kit has been very pleasant so far, the fit is perfect and the detail is quite good.
Although there seems to be a lot of flash in awkward places.

I decided to do the 23rd FG version Brews and I believe the floor on this praticular aircraft was natural wood but it seems to hav been painted black later on.

I'm afraid I'm knackered on this one fella's. The nearly completed mustang was left in the reach of a 2 year old boy who thought it would be fun to have it fight his diecast Thomas the Tank engines :evil: , needless to say the engines won :cry: .
The repairs are probably going to take a few days and I might have to source some replacement parts from Revell.
Sorry about that,

Cheers,
Paul
