Bonjour Nuno,

This is a great looking P-51D. We don't see often Mustangs with such a heavy weathering and I like it very much. Tell us more about how you did to paint the model. Are the D-Day stripes decals?

I'mp not sure to understand what you mean by "This little topic appears in the photos gallery, but it's apparently the wrong place."

Anyway, thanks for sharing your work with us...

Hello Jean Luc,
I meant that the kit is in another gallerie and that I made a mistake when i tried to share that topic for the first time. *=
Anyway, the P-51 is almost completly airbrushed, except stars and letters. I think that sometimes masking work makes the final look better.
Natural meta finish is made with the old Model Master range, by mixing different shades.
The oliv drab coat is weathered by rubber tapping before being completly dry, over a well polished aluminium coat, and finished with a neddle, or something similar, sharp enough to achieve the smalest scratchs.
Final weathering process, with inks, and oil washes, as long as I remenber !!!
Cheers,

Jean-Luc
