This is one of those builds that just seems to take forever. I still have a few minor things to do, much of which is evident in these photos, (alotta touch ups, especially on the flaps, detail painting and a bit of weathering…) but for all intents and purposes, she’s finished.
I’m not exactly happy with this one, far from it. Some of the problems are beyond my control (thick canopy & windshield), but many are due to my own impatience; I just wanted to get this thing done! So I cut some corners here and there and did some stupid things, but all in all it does look decent, I guess…
Blackwolf,
Excellent Mustang ! [:D] I don’t see any problems .
Which unit operated it and were the decals included in the
kit? Also did you use Alclad or Testors Metalizers ? Thanks
for sharing.

Hey Steve,
Its about time you finished her!![:p][:p]. Very well done indeed my friend.
If I’m not mistaken you put her in the 339th FG markings right? WOW maybe you can add it to the display case at Ace along w/ my Me262. At least there will be another new build besides mine[;)]
Speaking of that I thought we were suppose to rotate our builds once in awhile. I guess that went out the window too[:p][:p].
Anyway cant wait to have an up close peak at it myself.
Flaps up, Mike
Hey Stevo, you sell yourself short! If my Mustang turns out half as good as that, I will dance a Irish jig in the street ! Great job, awesome looking Mustang!

Hey Blackwolf! if you are not happy with that one i would like to see one of yours that would make you happy!, that aircraft is awesome, those exhausts, the interiors and the paint job is great to me, i wish i would be able to do something as good as that! congrats man! very nice job!
wolfie old boy what the hell did we do to incur your displeasure???
no explaination…just a curt goodbye…hope all is well old boy…drop me an email…stay in touch…??
Well, I say it looks quite good. I like the different colored panels on the wing. You have some very nice little touches there. Don’t be too hard on yourself there, at my best I’d be thrilled to produce something that nice. I feel like I am getting better though. Keep up the good work.
I know that we are most critical of ourselves, but that pony looks really nice. You have a kit to be proud of. I know that I am guilty of cutting corners toward the end of a build as well, but if you did, you mask it well. Other than the thick canopy ()again, nothing you could do) I think it looks great. I personally wouldn’t even weather the exterior, just from the clean build standpoint. So few people make clean models. Just MHO.
seriously? you’re not happy with this? wow. wolfman, this plane is freaking gorgeous. I can only imagine what the planes that you are happy with look like. You are a talented builder my friend. That is a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL ac. Nice job!
Oh and alclad for the finish? metalizer? it looks so good!
