    Trio + 1 of Mustangs Airfix 1/72

    After my latest battle with the Airfix 1/24 190 I thought I'd take it easy and try and restore some sanity.So what could be easier than these three I'll be starting off with the red tail lollipop.thanks for looking and any comments cheers John [ATTACH]122948.IPB[/ATTACH]

      This one looks interesting, so I'll be watching this one unfold


      I had the green nosed one 'Daddy's Girl' in a starter kit a couple of years ago, I still have it half painted; but I lost a bit of the cockpit window so it's standing by until I find it


      Again, looks great John and I'm looking forward to seeing them being built

        I've built the red tail plane John & it's a joy! No problems at all, so it'll be a welcome relief after the 190 tussle


        Now if only I could manage the BMF I'd post it up

                  Looking forward to seeing these.


                  Watch out on the undercarriage legs, I had the red tail one and the legs were deformed, asked Airfix for some replacements to which they obliged but they were just as bad!


                  All the best, Dave

                        It's good to see it developing nice and quickly What will you be doing with these Mustangs once they're finished John?

                            I was going to make a small and simple base for the three of them but I'm sure I have a fourth one somewhere but yet to find it
