I've seen it on another Mustang recently, one of the FG Mustangs if I remember correctly, where the builder reprinted the model on plain bond paper, and cut out the insignia and applied them like decals. Especially the stars and bars. Gives them a proper white color rather than metallic. Could probably do the same with the D-Day stripes and other graphics. Just a thought.
Other than that, this is looking great! All these warbird Mustangs are really making me want to build another, proper era version to supplement my Old Crow replica.

Dave,
I have not experienced any cracking of the cardstock when making sharp folds. Then againg, I have only used the silver cardstock on 2 models. This one and one of the XP-72 versions. But you are right about the color printed on. It comes out very light, when I cut out parts that don't have color in it, it is difficult to see the thin part lines in certain lighting because the card reflects the light well. |

The modelart kits have some fuselage elements that are a much better fit than Marek's older P-51 kits.
I really like the better fit of the forward fuselage and the intake/belly area looks a little better designed as well! I can see reasons for choosing either model. ...but then... how will you be happy without my wonderful artwork?

Well, now I am all done! Actually was a few days ago, but did not get around to taking shots until today. Had some family in from out of town. Any who, here are the photos of the 'ol bird.
I was not too happy on how the canopy came out. The new mold material I tried messed up on me when I tried drying it faster than what it was designed for....air drying. |
