I have been planning to update my older Mustangs ever since putting out the recent D model and all its repaints.
Last month I got a request for a new B/C model "Jeesil Peesil Mommy".
But I felt it didn't make sense to create another B/C Mustang before creating a new template.
Turns out there is an opportunity for a meet and greet with the
original WW2 Pilot of "Jeesil Peesil".
So that is my incentive to redo the Mustangs now ...rather than later!
My early Mustang Marek repaints,
followed by my redesigned B and C versions,
along with the newly designed A-36 and A model Mustangs
got better and better.
I did my best to keep fixing and adjusting as minor fit issues were discussed.
But there are still a few panel line issues that I would like to fix,
as well as the need for a better "vector" template that I can recolour more easily.
So, a complete redraw of this model with adjustments and new parts
is now in the works.
I would also like to design a new cockpit to fit this kit (if possible).
(I might also go back and replace some of the best sellers in my Mustang collection.)
...
Two white builds so far, and this is the result from two days ago.
looks good so far!
Some of the improvements with this template:
- exhaust placement, better lined up and straighter
- nose panel lines redrawn, better alignment
- a number of sections resized for better fit
- tail section resized to better match the adjoining section
- rear cockpit part redesigned
- cockpit area designed to be removed
- former redesign
- rivets added to fuselage (and wings)...not shown on white build
- coordinate all the center lines and belly seams
Ignore the cockpit cutout in this build...it has been altered.
