thanks, I am stuck now due to airbrush problems.... I will probably need a new one, and i will need to wait a bit for that 🙁

looks nice so far... to bad about the AB. With Aires the cockpit is ok dimensionally, but the thickness of the plastic is too thick then...

soheil moghisi
Very nice.

yes, it took a lot of sanding to get the aires cockpit in place. and I bit more probably would have helped too. fuselage without it fitted real nice

well, it is finally finished. i have learnt a few things about Alclad, clear coating, and specially about weathering, some not in the best way, but usually the hard way is the most permanent.... washes affected some of the decals, because the layer of alclad aqua gloss was obviously too thin. I will give a try with Future next time😉
there is another album with just pictures of the finished model.

thanks James. yes, that was nto easy. i cut the big decal in several pieces, to make it easier. but getting them to match was also tricky.
the decal is really thin, which is great because it looks better once done. but the problem is that if you handle it too much, it can break too
in fact, some days after i finished, a tiny bit of it dissapeared. just on white square and a blue one. i had to repair the damage with with paint. it is not perfect, but it will have to do.

Nicely done!! I some how missed this build. I have intensions of building the exact same kit and decals, but after 3yrs it still sits waiting.

Lode Schildermans
Looks sharp and shiny, Spanjaard. Thanks for guiding me through your building process
1 August 2020, 18:19
Spanjaard
thansk Tim and Lode, honoured that you both like it!
@Tim, Tamiya kit fits like a globe, and those decals are simply fantastic. most complicated part was to fit the aires cockpit. but the details are worth the effort. pity i did not sanded it a bit more to get proper fit
1 August 2020, 22:33
Daniel Klink
Very sharp and clean built Spanjaard👍
Excellent detailwork and like that paintjob.
Congrats mate
1 August 2020, 22:45
Tim Heimer
Spanjaard it is still a very respectable build. We are our own worst critics! We all need to learn the patience that Lode has!

Bahram
Looks great! Well done! which color did you use?
23 December 2020, 20:39
Spanjaard
hi Bahram thansk for your comment. Well, it is almost 3 years ago... but fortunately, I had some comments with the pictures. Alclad black base, and then
- duraluminium in the wings. plus some panels in different color (not sure which one, sorry), see picture 40
- airframe aluminium for most of the rest. see picture 59 and others
- duraluminium. See picture 43 and 51
- steel, see picture 55
all of them, from Alclad.
23 December 2020, 21:06
Bahram
Thanks a lot!
23 December 2020, 21:58
Spanjaard
maybe I should have used some clear varnish over the Alclad before masking. but it was my first time using Alclad. not the last time, i can tell you that 🙂

James White
Beautiful work!

Slavo Hazucha
Just popped up for me - nice work there! Like the metal job, the minor decal damage actually adds grit and realism to the final appearance and I definitely think the brass work on the 50cal muzzles paid off in the final appearance! 👍
2 January 2021, 23:05
Spanjaard
thanks Slavo, really pleased that you like it 🙂

Jim J
Excellent paintwork and masking. Getting the fuselage stars/bars aligned with the invasion stripes is tricky. Looks great.
15 February 2021, 01:43
Spanjaard
thanks a lot Jim. i wish i would have been as careful with other aspects, like the black strips on top of the wings, they are a bit out of their correct location...
15 February 2021, 10:50
Dash Rendar
Great build and paintjob! Very clean!

Oh boy mea culpa, I didn't checked the date, just flipped though the pics. Sorry mate, congrats for that completed beauty!
15 February 2021, 13:34
Spanjaard
thanks my friend, no worries 🙂
I am surprised to see this build coming back to the newsfeed. I like it, but it has several flaws, to be honest.
15 February 2021, 13:52
Clifford Keesler
But it sure is still beautiful.
17 February 2021, 00:30

I finally got this kit [well basically, the 60323]. Tamiya had it half price back around April-May. Also got the Spitfire Mk. XVIe half price free shipping. Both are superb kits.
20 March 2021, 03:34
Spanjaard
Good purchase! It is certainly a great kit. Got the spitfire in my stash, looking forward building it someday

thanks a lot Major Flannel for your kind comment.
Probably I dipped the canopy in Future, but I do not see anything in my comments of that time.... and after 5 years, i honestly can not remember!

Chan Li
I have had the same kit for years and never opened it … a caged bird so far
Besides your mustang is super bad ass! Like the cockpit
27 January 2022, 12:41
Spanjaard
open it Chan, it is a joy of a kit 🙂 of course, you can make it more complicated with the Aires cockpit, but i think the effort is certainly worth it.
