    Guys,

    indeed it flaked here and there,for I,the dumb a*s,didn´t mask AFTER sealing it with Future,but now I did and then will retouch those spots.

    All the best and thanks for the encouragement!

    Corrections made on the black,silver and yellow,bombs and rockets installed,plus canopy sliding base - bottom decals had to be applied first,so uppers gone too:

    Erik,

    still conforming them,and painting retouches where they (1996) cracked.

    Hope to futurize it today.

    All the best!

    Soon to be corrected where too much wash was unintentionally removed...

    Hello Marcus,
    Just seeing this now. Great build with the excellent Tamiya kit. We don't see too many Korean War Mustangs so this is a treat. Thanks for sharing.
