Airfix 1/72 P-51 D Mustang

[Guest]

Hi All,

This is my reveal for the Airfix 1/72 P51 D mustang which I built alongside a Tamiya 1/72 one as a side by side build.

Build Summary
The Airfix 1/72 Mustang. A gem of a kit. Went together really well. I painted it using Tamiya Enamels and Humbrol Enamels. I did not give it a wash since the panel lines just highlighted very well after I applied the paint so I left them as is. The decals went on phenomenally well too.

Definitely a lovely Mustang Bob! I like the variations in the panel colours - just enough to notice.

Brilliant result. Expertly built. I think that little Airfix has everything going for it.

Excellent builds Bob. Looking very, very good!!

Very impressed, much better than my one. What paint did you use for the metal? it looks really nice. I used the standard Humbrol Enamel one which Airfix suggested and have to say yours looks much more realistic.

Wow Bob, very very nice. Looks magazine quality, I'll be saving a picture or two for My personal collection. I am eager to see Your 1/48's once You comence building in that scale

That's great, Bob. Oddly enough, I have a very similar one on my shelves - what are the chances eh? I agree about the panel lines - they're a bit heavy in the kit and don't need any more emphasis. Looks like you had fun picking out different panels for the different shades of natural metal - this really works well.
