Howdy all..

I finished one and thought I'd post a couple of quick pic's.. I'll take some better ones for my site in a day or two.. Just wanted to get something shown on the boards for a change... I mosty do armor but i'm working on some wingy stuff at the moment.

The Model is Airbrushed with Model Master Enamals. RAF Dark Green and RAF Ocean Grey over RAF Medium Sea Grey. It's a Tamiya kit.

nice work, its looks very good!!

Does that P-51 not look totally different in camouflage compared to the usual bare metal finish?

I hardly recognised it

I agree, excellent work, and with the camo and a Malcolm Hood it should be called "Spitstang"

What did you use for the panel lines, are they pre-shaded or did you use a wash? They look excellent Delbert.

Cheers, D

Howdy and thanks.. and yes it does look a lot different in RAF colors.

and AussieReg the panel lines were a wash, something I'm trying to get a grip on.

I painted, then used future then used artist oils thinned with mona lisa oderless paint thinner from the artist section of the local craft store.

the oil wash flowed into the panal lines very smoothly..

laters all
