1/72 Special Hobby Mustang Mk.I

Gallery Article by AEX on June 3 2009

 

Surely the Special Hobby kit isn’t the best option to build a Mustang, at least on this scale.  Hasegawa, Tamiya, Academy… perform them with a bigger detail quality, but if we wish to build one of these versions, then we have to seek this manufacturer, dedicated to perform little common versions. Its lack of details is compensated with a PUR set from CMK, basically cockpit, guns and wheels. Their fit isn’t easy.  She’s painted with Gunze acrylics and riveted.
