It's a Mustang, but not as we know it
« on: April 19, 2024, 05:02:48 AM »
After having a couple of projects ruined by crappy Academy decals, the 'Red Tail' P-51C that they came from was left on the shelf. No more. First coat of primer is on, combat role identified, decals easily sourced from a totally different aircraft in the stash. Note that I used the Malcolm Hood that was an extra part in the kit.

Stay tuned...

First coat of Tamiya X-1 black, looks a little rough but I'll work on it. And no, this colour is not a base coat for silver.  ;)

Malcolm hooded Mustangs are the best Mustangs!

You are not wasting any time in getting this finished.  Interesting choice on paint colour.  Have you established the back story or is that yet to come? 

Regardless, it is looking good!  :smiley:

It will probably be short, but the basic premise has been established.
