Tamiya's P-51B GB Progress

Hiya,
WOW, I actually found time to do some actual building[:p]. This is going along w/ Blackwolf’s GB entilted “Mustang Ranch”.
This Stang is SOB w/ the exception that I am adding tape seatbelts and I also filled the cutouts on the inner edge of the flaps. I have to get the greenhouse set up and she’ll be ready for some paint.
This ship will be in the markings Of Capt Dave Perron’s “Little Bitch” 362nd FS, 357th FG. He went MIA on 4/1/44 when he and his wingman Rydberg had a mid air.

Flaps up, Mike

Gee, Mike, that looks familiar…

Fade to Black…

Looking good so far. Thanks for sharing.

Regards, Rick

Hey Steve,
It was just like yesterday…!!!

Thanks for the kind words Rick. I started the research on this Stang almost two years ago w/ the help of Mr Olsted and I am finally getting to the building aspect of it. Mmmmm, one of these days I want to do Overstreet’s ship.
Flaps up, Mike

joe

lookin’ excellent so far Butz!! thanks for the preview. later.

I do like the look of those B models for some reason. Great start!

Looking good so far! My Mustang is sat waiting to be painted. It may be sometime [:-^] Do you know what you’re painting yours with?

Darren

Blackwolf, does it look familar because it was just there or because of grasshopper’s adopted painting style? [;)]

Looking good… still waiting for my bird to come in the mail.

YUP…

Fade to Black…

Thank you too kindly Joe. So how is your GB going??

Saltydog and maddafinga, thank you for the kind words[;)]

Hey Darren,
As for the paints, I am not sure what I am going to use at the moment. Though for the base coat, I’ll be using either scale black or black by Polyscale(Waterbase). Using such a basecoat colour, it helps bring out the natural shadows and other details.
Getting back to the original question, heck, I may use both water base and enamel paints[;)]. I really wont know until I actually get into painting her. I’ll keep ya posted my friend.

Wayne,
Suuuurrrreeeeee…LOL[:p][;)]

Hiya Jeff,
When your waiting for something and you are really looking forward to it, it seems forever doesn’t it…[:p][;)] Thanks again.

Flaps up, Mike
