Returning to our very infrequent Junior Modeller's showcase, here is a lovely Mustang built by 13 year old Ryan. I could only wish that my models looked so good when I was a wee lass of 13.

Ryan, beautiful work I really enjoyed the photo spread of your Mustang and I kept going back to the wheel wells and the cockpit to gain some insight on your technique to help my own modeling. Great Work!

Ryan
Just a rock solid build. Excellent job on the weathering to achieve that "used but not abused" operational look. Well done.

Ryan, excellent "Shangri-la"! Gentile's Mustang has always been a favorite of mine next to "Ding Hao!". You built a great model here - looks like you put in a lot of research.
