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.

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 👍

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

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.

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 🙂

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 🙂

Great looking little bird! What did you coat over the alclads with? If anything?
20 June, 13:35
![](/profiles/img/23186-383-s.jpg)
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....

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

The decals do look stunning! Did you encounter any issues with setting solutions on the bare NMF parts?
25 June, 08:08
![](/profiles/img/23186-383-s.jpg)
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.

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

Thanks a lot, mates, for your kind comments!
Finally i uploaded a set of photos of finished model.
20 August, 23:21
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
wow, fantastic job. Alclad still looks fantastic after all the decals, detal setting weathering etc, simply perfect. and no clear varnish, amazing.
21 August, 10:50
![](/profiles/img/25429-812-s.png)
I totally agree with Spanjaard! The finish looks immaculate! Good to know that Alclad can withstand a beating.
21 August, 11:17
![](/profiles/img/23186-383-s.jpg)
Thank you very much, mates! I'm really happy, that you like it. Of course, the quality of this kit is not the same as the new Arma hobby or Eduard kits, but finally, it looks like a Mustang 🙂
To Spanjaard and Patrick: yes, Alclads are very good. But be careful, not all Alclads are the same. For example polished aluminium or airframe aluminium ( which i used for external tanks) are not resistant to weathering agents and need to be varnished! I also had to overspray decals on the fuselage with Tamiya LP- 24 semi gloss clear, because thare were visible edges of decals. But that's not a problem of alclad, it's a problem of decals.
21 August, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
thanks a lot for the info Jakub, I was wondering what I did wrong in my own P-51.... I guess my only error was to use airframe aluminium in most of the airplane 😄 😄
well, I believe it was my first use of Alclad 😉

Thanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.
25 July, 11:25
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
You're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.
25 July, 12:55
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Nice, Nice 👍👍, lalways wanted to see a vacform build, Do you have to make up other parts to add on ??
Thanks for upload 😃👍
27 July, 19:59
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
Thanks Mr D for your comments.
There will certainly be scratch build involved, mainly regarding the details as it looks for now. Otherwise I will raid my spare part stash first in order to save time and frustration.
If you are intrested in vac kits you can also have a look at my first vac kit:

Thanks 👍👍 great, will do , l have an intest...as l enjoy making parts, lve had to do it few times, when parts lost or broken or details missed of kit...even canopy once 🤣.
Will check out the XP-67
28 July, 17:00
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
@Mr D - yes you will need some good scissors as a start😅, for the fine tuning of the parts I normally use saw razor blades and sanding paper of variuos grits. Regarding glue I use "normal" Tamyia Extra Thin, the vacu kit plastic is often quite soft and melts easily.

![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
@Skyhiker - Happy to hear that your following with great intrest. Usually the building pace goes down during the sommer period as I have been reminded that we have a garden that also need some TLC…😂
Nevertheless, yes there is planning and ordning of parts going on behind the scenes. Cockpit need to be done, rescribing the full kit, alignment of wheels as the mold was totally off-set. Drill out all machine guns for after market parts etc.
The main work will be to prepare the plane for NMF look also including some aluminum dope areas. Will try AK's metal paints this time. Stay tuned!

Mr D - regarding reference photos and material, did research some photos and blue prints on-line. In addition I have also checked out some ref builds both in 1/72 & 1/48 for further input on details.
Yes, the PE venting turned out good. Next step is to paint the cockpit and glue the airframe together

Great 👍👍 l like something different n interesting like this.
I recently used the thick tin foil of a hot chocolate lid to make a lost seat belt, it worked really well.
Like the seat.
Thanks for input n uploading 😁👌

Mr D - thanks for your intrest and encouraging comments.
This time I went the easy way with just some tape for seat belts
17 August, 13:12

Thanks! Feels always nice when the main build part is done and everything is aligned. Now time for rescribing.

Nice choice of kit, like the way your clock's/ instruments have turned out.
Was each clock individual??
Good stuff, my next kit is a Tamiya, was good quality.
Thanks for uploading 👍👍
19 August, 18:59
![](/profiles/img/118183-835-s.jpg)
Thanks Mr D. You can't go wrong with a Tamiya, at least in terms of fit. Sometimes their details get simplified and supposedly a few kits have accuracy issues, but for assembly they are great. Had to do this one after the A-20G since it was so painfully fussy to fit together. This is a nice change!
I thought about punching out each instrument individually but it's so small it would have driven me mad. Fortunately, the decal is sized perfectly to the panel so if you align it carefully, it turns out fine.
This kit doesn't specifically say it, but you can do both open and closed engine panel. Since the engine fits with pins and poly caps, you can change them out, which I intend to do. It's a nice touch and the kit is fairly cheap. Pick one up if you haven't already.
19 August, 19:34
![](/profiles/img/110025-775-s.png)
I agree,after a frustrating build. You can go to a Tamiya kit and get back to what the hobby is about. . . Enjoyment, satisfaction, reasonable accuracy and a decent finish. Good interior John, looks like the 162 is on track as I would expect from your good self. 🤘🥸🤟🥸👍
21 August, 07:43
