Hi, this is my last
year built kit. It is the Tamiya 1/48th P-51D Mustang, built as 361st FG 375th FS
flown by Urban L. Drew. There are 3 more scheme that this Tamiya bring but
I finish it with D-Day Invasion stripe scheme. Actually I wanted to build
the famous "Petie 2nd" but I'm too lazy to mix colors to get the right
blue nose. Then I chose aother scheme but I accidentally made a mistake with
the nose color stripe, so as the deadline was near, I then decided to correct it by
choosing
the last scheme. The BMF also give me trouble as my airbrush always sprays
water that ruins the look. No choice had to it sand down and repaint the
affected areas and make the silver look smooth again.

Those invasion stripe I painted using
an airbrush, it's more confident for me to spray it rather than
using decals as provided. Make a lite wash using oil color, little
touch up and there you go.. It's done lastly.
As those troubles
that I experienced, it's really worth it as she became the winner in a
"Mustang" competition in my home town.
