Chucks "Shangri-La" in 1/72*Finished*

Post by Chuck Finley »

My LHS just got in the canopy masks and seatbelts Saturday that I ordered two weeks ago for my Hasegawa P-51B in 1/72. Basic construction was finished Sunday.

Neutral Grey was added yesterday and the Olive Drab 41, this morning. Landing gear, doors, propeller and small parts added tonight followed by touch-up painting. I plan on adding glosscoat in the morning, decals in the afternoon and expect to have the bird finished by Thursday night. :)

Way to go. One speedy build. Nice one.

All the best.

That's a really sweet looking Mustang. Interesting how one side is so 'naked' while the other is rather full :)
