    After some weathering ( using artist oil paint) Mustang now standing on her legs . Later a matt coat from Gunze applied. Still needs some work for getting close to the finish line.

    Tolga,

    Exceptional work. May I say that the reversed color scheme looks even more spectacular. Well worth the extra effort
    To the headlines pls! 🙂

    Be warned Tolga, eventually some plank is gonna tell you that the floor of the P-51D was painted black. This is absolutely true, but rivet counters be damned, I like the look of the wooden floor. Nice work all around (as usual).

    Thanks Seamus,
    Actually my reference was Brett Green s article on Hyperscale for the wooden floor.

    I will remember and take into consideration your tip for my next P-51D project

    Tolga,

    On your next P-51 project, keep doing the wooden floor. I did a P-51D with the black floor and let me tell you, it looked like hell. Sometimes it is better to use artistic license over accuracy. Who is to say that some P-51Ds did not leave the factory without painted floors anyway?

    Nicely rendered Mustang. "Lou IV" is sort of a Mustang cliche, but it's certainly a welcome change from "Big Beautiful Doll", "Glamourous Glen", "Tangerine" and "Cripes a Mighty the 237th".

    Thanks for posting!

    "Tangerine"? Yeah sure, the others you have mentioned have been done to death but I have once to see someone model "Tangerine"
