A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away …
Sorry, it’s a different story :slight_smile:

Now I’m closing the fuselage and working on other small parts.
Stay tuned.

Next small progress.
I used AK Xtreme metal paints: Polished aluminium, white aluminium and steel.
Spinner is painted polished aluminium and Gunze H413 Yellow.



I need to polished some parts of the fuselage and repaint steel in exhaust area once again.

Nice project, Andy! :+1:
But why don’t you close the canopy prior to painting instead of masking all the interior? I find it easier as I did on my RAAF Mustang recently. You can open the canopy again later. This is my pony …

That’s a really nice finish on your Mustang.
Going to be really good.

Torsten, for me it’s not a problem at all. Maybe next time (during 1:48 F-6D from Eduard project) :slight_smile:
