The thread for my WW1 A7V has been locked, so it will start off this new venture.
Remember this?
I'd left it to close to my 'paint drying' spot lamp!
I made a rubber mould then cast a resin copy of the cupola from a second model I bought.
Using it and some camo nets to hide a bit of the damage;
I removed the decal cross on the top front grill and hand painted a cross on.

Nice fix to the cupola. I like the painted on cross as well.

Thank you David.
Another one from the to-be-finished shelf.
This was started during the 'Museum' GB earlier this year. When I stopped it had been sprayed silver and the black trim on the tail parts done.
Whilst getting reference for building, painting and decaling this I've identified at least 8 different schemes on P51s representing this one. Now there is one less; the IWM Duxford one is no more. It has been repainted as
Etta Jeanne II MX-V 44-11631

Remember when we did the ''Aero Themed Autos'' GB? I never finished mine, till last evening;
If I ever have another cheap model car on hand I might do another.
RAF or USA(A)F ?

I love the camo on the F40! Of course, I think Enzo Ferrari would roll-over in his grave if he ever saw it. Some nice work going on here.
