Awesome weathering! How did you do that? Pre-shading, post-shading? And how many washes? I guess that looks like at least a grey and a rust wash

Magenta
Thank you Mr. Freak. And sorry for replying more than a year late. All weathering was done by post shading. The paints I used were Tamiya panel line accent color dark gray and GSI Creos Mr.weathering color ground brown.

Freak
Thank you! I'm constantly asking for tips from the best modellers on scalemates and am still model building (though a 1:1 scale house is keeping me busy these weeks).
It's a lovely surprise to get this info suddenly in my notifications! Looking forward to your next builds!

Finn
Like it a lot!

Magenta
Thanks a lot!

Alec K
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

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 👍

Agreed!

I still have some 3D printed IDF tank crew from my Magach 6B project. I think I will build a battle worn Merkava 4M with cope cage and the crew while reloading.
