Very nice! Practice for the Eduard release I presume 😉 😄

Michael Kohl
Looking sharp.

Maciej Bellos
Niiice!

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, mates!
Alec, correct deduction 👍 I see that you are not only a great modeler, but also an experienced detective 😄
Just to clarify, I will not build the new edition in 1:72 scale, but the 1:48 kit, which I have had in my stash for some time.

Nicolas
Great start.👍

Mr D
Nice metal finish 👌.
Glad you showed paints,
I'm struggling to find a good white paint that doesn't need a stupid amount of coats to look white... Any recommendations from anyone be appreciated.
Smart Mustang scheme 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thank you Nicolas and Mr D!
to Mr D: I use Tamiya LP and Gunze H aplied in several thin layers.

Mr D
Thanks 👍 for the tip, will look into it now.
Cheers Jakub.

I agree with Jakob, Tamiya LP white is much easier for me to use. Another trick is to black base the part first, and then lightly coat on the white. For some odd reason, it's easier for me to avoid over-spraying white on that.

Jakub Fiala
Black base is certainly a good tip 👍

Clement
Mr Surfacer 1500 White is also a good option if you need a white "paint" with high coverage.
You can polish it afterwards or layer a coat of regular white paint if need be.
Being 1500, it's pretty smooth anyway.
Great mustang, Jakub. I'm looking forward to see it done 🙂

Bas Tonn
Love that yellow nose !!

Moreno Baruffini
Well, since I'm also building a p-51 (different molds), I can only say that I have still to learn and practice a lot 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, gentlemen!

Marek Nagy
Máš to pěkný.

Jakub Fiala
Dík, Máro! V pondělí ho dotáhnu na klub. Stojím před velkým dilematem a budu potřebovat hromadnou konzultaci 😄

Juergen Klinglhuber

Jakub Fiala

bughunter
Always impressed by your clean paint jobs 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thanks a lot, Bughunter! Happy, you like it.

Lukas Muller
zatím krásná práce... jen tak dál 👍

Jakub Fiala
Dikec....snad to nezmrvim 😄

Sergej I
Great looking little bird! What did you coat over the alclads with? If anything?

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, Sergej!
There is no coat over any color. The silver color on wings (LP-11) is polished, Alclads are untouched. I hope no varnish is needed. But i will see after decals....

Sergej I
Thank you for the answer... brave, hoping all goes well and looking forward for results 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thanks.
Decals on.

Alec K
…and they look great 👍

Zbynek Honzik
This looks more like 1/48th scale than 1/72nd scale. Really cool! 👍

J35J
Very clean paintjob! Looking forward to see the final result👍🏻

Jakub Fiala
Thanks a lot, mates!

Patrick Hagelstein
The decals do look stunning! Did you encounter any issues with setting solutions on the bare NMF parts?

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, Patrick. Luckily, no problem occurred with the setting solutions. But the decals are not fully set in panel lines yet. Photos are taken immediately after applying the decals. It is not visible on pictures, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Like the paint job. Very accurate & clean - 👍

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, Juergen!
Some weathering done. Final completion is near 😄

bughunter
Another masterpiece is emerging 👍

Alec K
Agreed!

Jakub Fiala
Thanks a lot, mates!

Jarda Malý
no co Ti budu lhát, máš to zase parádní. prostě umíš.

J35J
Great build and paintwork!👍🏻

Vincent
Great Metal finish!!

Neuling
Yes!

Jakub Fiala
Thank you, gentlemen!
I´ve uploaded first pictures of a finished model. I hope, i will be able to present the whole gallery soon.

Jakub Fiala
Jardo díkec! Úplně se červenám 😄

bughunter
Wonderful result! Looking forward for the final pictures.

Alec K
This turned out excellent. Looks like a much large scale model 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Simply perfect!

Maciej Bellos
Oh wow! Fantastic Mustang!

Jakub Fiala
Thanks a lot, mates, for your kind comments!
Finally i uploaded a set of photos of finished model.

Guy Rump
Great result, congrats! 👍

Trez Mackenzie
You have linked this Tamiya kit to a RFM one?

Njh de Wilde
@Trez, I have no idea of what you're asking

Trez Mackenzie
People look up a specific kit.

They scroll down to see how it builds.

But here - they see a different kit. That's not how it is supposed to work. You have linked your album to the wrong kit

Bogicevic Vladimir
No he did not. If you enter the project, you can find both kits. Njh de Wilde, nice model. If I may just add a remark, that figure is totaly wrong. Tropical uniforms were diferent. And, as I see you are planning to add a short barrelled Pz. IV and I don't think there were any left by the begining of tunisian campaign.

scalemates
@trez: this behaviour should stop now!
There is no room for insults nor these aggressive tones.

On top of that: A project can consist of several different kits. So nothing wrong here

Ps: no need to reply

Trez Mackenzie
Seems a little 2 tier to me. Don't we have enough of that already? As for the bald one…I'm bald as well so….

Back to the point I must be missing something - I can't see any interior RFM kit which is why I scrolled down.

To be clear - I search the RFM kit.

I scroll down and do not see said RFM

How is that nothing wrong? Please show me that one of the several kits is the RFM with interior

Martin Oostrom
Take a look at the project page 1942 Tunisia DAK Convoy | Project by TheLightLOD (1:35). Third kit from the top.
Galleries might be linked to the family of kits, but I'm not sure of that.

Doubtingmango
Great looking interior! Watching…
