Looks good....
What did you use for the metal finish? I have a few mustangs waiting to be built, and am thinking of trying some different methods, either foil or metallizer.
The finish looks pretty clean, what method did you use?

It may have been a while since your last build, but your skills haven't diminished any.

Logan, isn't it obvious? Since this is Amrorama he must hav used "armor-all" on the tires.

Well another airplane Dave? lol I thought we were dragging you back into the realm of the Tanks...or as the airforce calls them .."targets" Pretty good job all over ...yeah yeah the wheels ..you know that already...Two other things I noticed ...isn't the Glamourous Glen decal a little crooked ? shouldn't it fit in the panel under the exhaust ? This is just from memory though ..you could be right...Oh and the exhaust stacks should be a rusty brown color or at least a burnt metal color but I'm sure you just hadn't gotten around to painting them yet .. Great job bud!

I think the mustang is great. Very good workmanship. I agree with the comments of others ..the wheels are a little shiny , but other than that ..two thumbs up. Look forward to seeing more from ya.

Hi Dave,
Looks great to me, except for the tires and props being too shinny. Keep 'em coming....

Lords and Lordettes,
Thanks for the kind words. The picture does tell the details much better than naked eyes. The prop and wheels looked shiny, guess more dull coat is needed.
Bear dude,
I think the Glamous Glen is somewhat in the right directions, this had caught my attention initially during the decalling too, but seems this is not sit parallel to the panel line, but more parallel to the exhausts.
PenPen,
I used Alclad for the aluminum, best I had used so far.

Dave,
Other than the aforementioned corrections, this is an excellent build - very slick indeed.

Dave, you did a damn great job on that Mustang. My only question is this---Where do you put the tracks?
