Little Friend
This is the Hasegawa 1/48 P-51D dressed up in Captain Ted Lines "Thunderbird" livery. Out of the box build except for the Eduards seatbelts. NMF is AK Extreme metallics and Vallejo metallics over a white primer base. Lightly weathered with pastels and an oil wash. I was very impressed with the fit/finish of the kit so much I bought 4 more. Hope you enjoy!
Excellent work as always my friend!
Thanks Boss!
Very nice clean build. Can’t go wrong with a P-51 as you first article to start on iModeler. Welcome to the asylum. Keep building.
Thanks for the welcome, more to come!
Turned out extra nice.
Thanks Jay!
Sure did turn out nice. First time I’ve seen a Hasegawa Mustang built up. Beautiful job.
I was going to build a Tamiya but there was more detail in the Hasegawa and so very little putty needed. Wing roots went together really well.
A fantastic job, Butch!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks Spiros!
You entered with a beautiful Mustang, Butch @butchbryan
Excellent result on the weathering and NMF.
Welcome to this great community.
Looking forward to see more of your builds.
Thanks John, much appreciated!
Wow Butch, that is a pretty bird! I really like your colour variation on various panels.
Thanks Rory, been practicing with trying to get a decent natural metal finish and happy enough with this one to try the next.
Very nice, love the finish. Did this one myself a few years ago
Thanks George, much appreciated, great little kit
Nice job. Welcome to the group.
Thanks Tom, great to be here!
Nice build, Butch. Well done and welcome.
Thanks Gary, glad to be here!
Welcome, Butch! Nice to see a Hasegawa Mustang built.
Thanks John! Its a great little kit! 🙂
Great-looking 'Stang Butch! Bought 4 more? Could it be you are being lured away from Sci-Fi...? Not sure the Trek fans could handle that!
Dont get your hopes up! 😀
Looks great. Have a couple P 51s in the stash. Maybe next build. Hope they turn out as nice aa yours.
Thanks Russ! If there is anything I can do to help you with the build please let me know.
Fine looking Mustang, and thanks for describing the materials used...always helpful!
Thanks Joe!
Welcome to iModeler, Butch, thanks for sharing your Mustang with us.
Thanks George, greatly appreciated!
Looks great- thanks for sharing! Beautiful Mustang
Thanks David, much appreciated!
What a debut! 😁 Great Mustang model Butch! I did a double-take when I saw your name; I've got a cousin in South Texas named Butch Bryan and the thumbnail pic does look similar. But he's no modeler, and obviously, you are! 😉 Fine work there @butchbryan, and welcome to iModeler! 🍻
Thanks Gary, much appreciated! Thats a unique name combo I have never seen a duplicate of! Usually Butch is a nickname for something else, in my case its "Clyde"
