Accurate Miniatures F6B Tac Recce Mustang

January 7, 2025 · in Aviation · · 14 · 342

Although not quite a gem as I initially perceived (read TC's comment), Accurate Miniature's recce is a nice build. Removal effects of the invasion stripes are the focal point of the model.

  1. A very interesting subject, excellently built, painted and weathered, Rafi!
    Congratulations!

  2. Very nice work Rafi.

    Unfortunately, despite your great work, the kit creates a deficient model. that's because the "geniuses" at the resuscitated A-M managed to put the tree with the nose for the (4 cannon) P-51 in the kit box, rather than the correct tree. An F6B is a P-51A, which has the different, wider intake, in common with the A-36. Screwups like this are why the company failed a second time.

  3. Excellent work done, Rafi @blackmopane
    Removal effects to hide the invasion stripes worked very well.

  4. Nice job, Rafi. I like the stripe removal look.

  5. Great work on the recce Mustang.

    I basically airbrushed a green wash over the top stripes to simulate trying to remove them.

  6. Amazing look to the stripes removal. Do you mind me asking the steps/processes you used to achieve the look? If you choose to respond, flag the response with @gkittinger so I'll see it in my email. Thanks!

  7. Nice work on the paint and invasion stripes re-work.
