Excellent work. Great detail.

Nice work Tolga, I’m currently working on their A-36. Hope it turns out as nice as yours. I assume you cut open the canopy and that it’s not an aftermarket item?
Tolga ULGUR said on January 7, 2017
Thanks Tom,
Opened canopy parts are from my spare box. These are remaining Tamiya parts from previous builts.
I am not a good surgeon to cut open the canopy:)

Very appealing early Mustang. Subtle weathering really pops on this model. Well done. Love building the AM Mustangs. Wish this company was still around. Italeri has the moulds now, still not the same when AM did it. Thanks for sharing.

As all have already said – an excellent build! Love the weathering – nice and subtle, very realistic. I also like the scheme and the yellow-bordered stars, etc., a unique look.
