  1. A well built Mustang is always welcome, Paul. Great model. I loved the "in progress" pic, too.

  3. A sweet looking Mustang, nice work!

  4. That's one nice paint job on that Mustang!

  5. Yep...another beauty! Great bare metal finish. What did paints did you use to make it look so realistic?

    Thanks for posting the color photo of the real deal. Now I know what color to paint the rear view mirror above the canopy windshield.

    • Yes I added my rear view mirror after the pics when I saw I forgot to put it on.
      I used 3 colours for the wings, various tamiya, mr color silver and aluminium shades.
      For the fuselage, a gloss black undercoat and the alclad polished aluminum.
      My favourite for this finish. ?

  6. Very nice looking Mustang. Bravo! 👍
    Love the bare metal finish. Recently done a Spit in the same looks.
