Hello Boys,

Trying to put into practice my new year best resolutions, I'm completing the long-time ago began kits, the frist of the row being the good ol' Tamiya 1:48 Mustang .... The Mirage IIIC will be next.

On to the pics and as usual, comments and critics most welcome.

Best,

Stef (#6)

Beautiful job on your stang! Love the perfect paint job and weathering! One note to help your prop blades aren't seated all the way into the spinner!

Nicely done NMF coupled with the OD camo paint scheme. As Rick alluded to, your prop blades aren't seated properly. Hopefully you can just pop them off and reseat them.

Hello gents,

Thanks a lot for your inputs;
For the prop' blades, can we say it's a prototype of jettisonable blades, uh ?

I will try to fix it, these were no too tighly glued.

Nice build and great work on the camo for this Mustang. I think you nailed it. Very good.

Hope to see more of your work here.

David.
