              Yes Joe 4 of the 5 are new toolings n boy what a difference.


              It's pity Airfix didn't sort it many years ago and save us all a lot of grief

                  You know its not Lollipop,,, look a little closer I made the same mistake when doing the 1:24th version


                  Will these be all on one display?


                  Looking forward to seeing the end results

                          Hi everyone small update.... Having now completed mustang 1 & 2 lollipop and the RAF camo I have now started 3rd and 4th Daddy's Girl and FF943 of 5 in total. I'll be doing the alclad vs vallejo metal colour comparison on these two. Thanks for looking in and any comments cheers John

                            Did I miss this ( damn ) I bought my wife " daddy's girl" couple of years ago and she painted it all by hand using hairy sticks. Very proud and it sits on my display ( bit dusty but all her own work.


                            Love the Mustangs


                            Great builds so far

                              A proper mustang production line going on. It's better to do it that way, less paint changes going on. I did 3 gnats in a go a while back!


                              I love mustangs whether they've got 3 wheels, 4 wheels not sure about the four hoof ones though!o_O


                              You're doing a cracking job on these John, can't wait to see them all done.

                                Good to see this, John. I have the Airfix Mustang up next so hopefully I'll pick up some tips. Unsurprisingly, I have almost the same Vallejo products on the shopping list as you!
