Soviet's had some great green paints, really distinctive, love it.
If it's Russian Aircraft...it's got to be Zvezda 👍👍👍

Did you use the kit green decals for the butt end or paint it? I have been waiting forever for someone to make decals without the green so I can paint my own.

bossy122: thats clever, no I use it on a white painted body and the decals are not that good, so they broke at certain places. I didnt care that much cause I wanted anyway to weather it a lot for the dio, but if you want a clean car, its better to paint...the smaller decals are ok tho. Its like a Fujimi kit, fragile suspension, so so decals, but fit relatively well. If you weather it, its great...

Welcome and thanks for your motivating words @Alec . First time I use something 3D printed and until now I enjoy it ☺️

Welcome @Nicolas, @ Rui and @DerMattes - thanks for your interest in this build 😊

A small update here ... engine took my a while to get fitted in the fuselage. Didn´t work precisely enough so I got paid off when I tried to put the engine in. Anyway I solved it somehow without any major visible impact.

I gotta. say that I really appreciated there build posts that people share; its a real treat to see a bunch of plastic and such come together into a masterpiece! I learn so much from watchings.

Welcome @Skyhiker - thanks for your interest on this build @Rui thanks for your kind words, even if I don´t think that anybody can learn much from my work .... but this is exactly what this stunning community is for ... I learned so much from people´s builds here ...
12 March, 08:09
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Glad you solved the hurdle. Any ideas why the engine did not fit, or what the issue was?
12 March, 12:37
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
1:72? I would have trouble with those tiny PE part of it were 1:32!! Well done on your precise work.
12 March, 13:04
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
Great work Thomas!
Really impressed of your clean build and how you apply thiny amount of glue on all delicate small PE parts without creating a mess.
12 March, 13:16
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate that and this motivates me to constantly push myself out of the comfort zone .... thanks thanks thanks!!!! @Neuling: I know your skills so I´m really glad you came around my build: the answer is patience and a glass of good wine 😆 @Alec: as you can see the engine comes in a lot of tine parts and I didn´t pay enough attention when removing the print support and grinding the parts down properly. This resulted in a too long engine assembly. Lucky my I always spend a lot of time on dry-fits so I recognized it before starting to glue it in. Almost complete front end is made of printed parts and slightest deviations result that engine cowlings won´t fit together. Not a must to have them completely align when you show them open but I want to paint the all in one and then open the cowlings once done ...
12 March, 17:59
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
@Neuling … who drinks beer in glasses? 😂 but I guess it will work
12 March, 21:02
![](/profiles/img/132974-828-s.jpg)
What was the cause of engine fitting? I have just got the engine pack. Any advice?
Ah, I read your previous post. It seems that most folk seem to buy these things as an aesthetic object so hats off for taking this on!
4 April, 15:39
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
@Trez: as you may have seen in previous comments, the most important thing is to really carefully sand all components down. Tend to say do a little more. There are many components coming together (assembled engine itself, manually modified fuselage, printed cowlings, ... ) and should fit properly in the end to avoid any gaps or twists in the final assembly. I think it would be tricky even in bigger scale. 1/72 scale has no mercy in this complex assembly of the plane front end. I managed it, but didn´t upload any pictures here so stay tuned 😊
5 April, 06:28
![](/profiles/img/52499-702-s.jpg)
Following! 👍, great job with cockpit and engine so far.
I have the exact same setup for an F-8 Würger in the shelf 🙂
5 April, 06:38
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
@Trez: I will share some when I´m back - currently traveling and far away from my bench. @Sergej: thanks for your positive feedback, I hope my experiences on this build help to make yours a little bit more straight forward 😆
5 April, 17:28
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
After a longer break on this I was finally able to restart on this build. Main engine components placed in fuselage, rivets added (as much as possible on this scale) and hydraulic tubes adde to landing gear. Now a bit of tedious work ... sanding and preparation for primer. Not much but in tricky places.
25 June, 19:39
![](/profiles/img/123212-460-s.png)
Great job, not the easiest in 1:72 scale is it Thomas? but it is rewarding when completed!
26 June, 16:21
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
Thanks @Frank!! Indeed it was a challange, especially when working with these resin parts for the first time. But as you say, I hope it will be rewarding once the Würger is done 🤷♂️
26 June, 18:03
![](/profiles/img/125872-847-s.jpg)
Thanks @Jürgen. Working on the main paints already … German camouflage in 1/72 is a challenge 🤣

nice collection. is the decoration done with decals or painted? i am mostly talking about the very dark with light blue on the sides, and the golden decoration of the blue/purple

On both cars are decals. The Skull on the Van is hand-painted.

golden declal are an impresive work of decalling. really nicely done.
i am sorry, but I not see the skull in the van, maybe in the roof? i see something there, but the picture only shows the borders

Well, the polycap that is supposed to link/sync the left and right elevators fell out during the process of joining the fuselage halves. So I had to saw out the little housing that was supposed to hold the polycap in place and set it manually. Looks like I have one "unforced error" so far...
26 April, 22:57
![](/profiles/img/121979-911-s.jpg)
That Merlin is looking great. Looks like it came with the kit? Must be a lot easier than old resin, lol
27 April, 00:09
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
It's close to time to add the canopy and mask for paint. Lots of weathering yet to go. And the gun bays are looking a bit bland. Needs some additional paint and wiring.
1 May, 06:15
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
Time to close up the cockpit and prep for paint. Going to be one of those traditional natural metal schemes with lots of wear and tear...
3 May, 05:06
![](/profiles/img/121979-911-s.jpg)
Yep agreed Ky, my next P-51 will definitely be a Tamiya. How did detailing the gun bays go Marlin?
3 May, 14:37
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
Still working on them. The fit has had only one issue that was even close to being worth mentioning. The right wing gun port on the leading edge did not fit perfectly. So I have had to do a little filling on the undersurface. The underwing scoop was almost an issue but seems to have settled into place. WARNING: one must fit the AILERONS BEFORE THE FLAPS. Otherwise the photo etched hinge does not get locked into place by the steel shaft from the outboard end of the flap. Missed this so it was unforced error #2...
3 May, 20:53
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
Okay, after looking at some of the real aircraft, I am not sure there is any detail needed except to weather the bay and guns. I was expecting some electrical or other pipes/wiring, but alas, there does not appear to be any...
3 May, 21:41
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
I'm back! So the masks provided are intended to be applied to the outside surface. However, it's really hard to mask the interior surface, so I cut the masks and applied them to the inside of the glass and then used Scotch tape for the outside. Leaving the interior a little "over masked, the black primer added to the outside with the flat black interior will create a nice effect overall.
2 June, 23:44
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
Back at it! Prop is done, not yet weathered. Needs some scuffing along the leading edges.
1 July, 04:14
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
I'm using Alclad and Metalizer. Sadly, my collection of Metalizer is shrinking. My choice for masking tape is 3M PostIt Notes. They work really well on the soft surface of Alclad Primers and Paints. Looking to seal it up next and start the process of marking/weathering.
4 July, 17:04
![](/profiles/img/118183-835-s.jpg)
I love the finish of Metalizer but hoo boy is it fragile. I hear you on supply. I'm all out of aluminum; stainless steel and jet exhaust are all that's left. 🙁
Your IDF Mustang is looking great, however!
4 July, 18:02
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
Going to steal your post it notes trick for my next metallic project. Even i]with Xtreme Netal paints, I still have to wait a couple of days after I seal it with gloss - thanks Marlin!
