Paul's Black Friday Pony

Post by PaulBradley »

Carrying on with my Mustang III build for the P-51 GB. The story so far:

- Airfix 1/72 P-51B kit;

- Malcolm hood scrounged from someone (thanks!);

- Undercarriage up for pole mount;

- Prop blur to be used;

- RAF camo started.

And now, the conclusion.....

Between watching the cricket, Liverpool football trouncing Barcelona, and Olympics, I did manage to get the Dark Green coat on:

A coat of Future to follow prior to decaling, which I hope to do tomorrow. I still need to finish painting the pilot - can't have an aerial aeroplane without a pilot!

Cheers, Al!

In one of those seemingly rare instances nowadays where I've been inspired to sit at my bench, I did manage to get this one done over the weekend:

I've hit one of those mojo funks at just the wrong time. I'll work through it, but it is terribly frustrating. :frown:
