Well i'm just about coming to the end of this one so I might as well finish it up here as my first WIP on MA. It's been a great build but everything else has been a FFFFFFFmess. Anyway i'll not go into all of that, the livery is almost done so we can say this one is all but in the bag (oops I cringed saying that????)

Ah yes, Passion Wagon, great scheme with just enough cheesecake..

I see you have the flaps off, are the wings dryfitted?
 
Hi guys,

Firstly thanks for looking and commenting. Moonpuppy - The wings are fixed and in place, the flaps will be added soon just want to paint them seperately with some weathering. Sharkmouth- This is 1/48 scale.

For some reason when I read Tamiya P51 I automatically think the 1:32 scale...guess it's on my mind. I was wondering how you would get the flaps on at that point but different kit, different engineering.

Even better, I couldn't tell the scale! :mpup

You are too kind but thanks for the compliment. :cheer:
 
Completed the first stage wash using Black Artists Oils. Also started the first stage of weathering by applying some "repairs"

Need to get this one done for our club "end-of-year" competition so I will now be putting in some effort. The weathering is pretty much all done. The airframe is now put away while I complete the bits and pieces and once everything is done and "hung" on, final weathering and blending and i'll call it overs.
