I just started this one... It looks like an awesome kit!

Gary Victory
Hi DM.....Good luck with your build. I hope it's better than the Tempest..! That one proving to be a little problematic.
Hope to see your completed P-51 soon.

Desert Marlin
Once the Mirage and P-38 are done, I will start the two P-51's and let you know!

Gary Victory
Thank you very much Gents.

Casey, not completely down to the U.S. has once the U.K. had a general election at the end of 1964 the incoming Labour Government who it was widely known for their lack of support of the project quickly put the TSR under the hammer. If the project had gone forward then i think of the what if's....South Africa i feel would have been a strong contender along with Australia, Saudi Arabia, India and maybe the US if the F-111 didn't work out.

1:72 Hasegawa Kit with Eduard canopy Mask set, Seatbelts and Cockpit.

Just some brief notes on my build.
Contruction was staright forward and i did not encounter any real issues.
Paint was mainly either Mr Hobby or Tamiya for the main camo.
The Black i focused on giving a different tone by adding Tamiya X-3 Royal Blue, XF-10 Red Brown and XF-69 NATO Black with a final light overcoat of XF-1 Matt Black.
Flory model Dark dirt wash was used to bring the panel lines out then after a clear coat i used the oil paint dot method using browns, greens and blue on the top surface of the wings to add some differnt tones.
I also used lamp black and sephia mixed together for stains around the engines and exhaust stains.
Bombs painted in diffrent Tamiya greens to give a more worn varied look and added some artwork to the Cookie with Tamiya X-2 Gloss white.
Bombs weathered with Tamiya weathering Set and Humbrol pigment Dark Earth.

Thanks for looking in.
Happy Modelling.
