The Great Canadian Campaign!

With the spitfire build going up in flames I decided to crack open my accruate miniatures mustang. I am building it as a MkIA flown by a Canadian pilot for an RAF squadron on d-day. I decided to build all three of my AM mustangs, as they are similar kits, but I’ll be doing each in a different scheme. The log for that is here

Just finished the black detail painting in the cockpit, tomorrow, red, white, and steel followed by a silver dry brush!

Looks amazing @ColinEdm and @Mead93!

Some work done on my TUA, I got these nice Duplicata production flags yesterday so I put them to good use. The antennas are guitar wire.

And I also added some dried grease stains to the roadwheels.

And some soot from the exhaust as per my references using Danger Close black pigment.

Next is wet fuel and this build is done!

(Yes final pictures will be done on a nice background.)

Great work Ezra, it’s beautiful!

Looks real good!

Looks really good!
Hope to start building again after next week… see if I can finish that Grizzley…
Your build reminds me that I have to get UN and Canadian flags…

That looks really good, Ezra! And as Sheldon Cooper would say… “Fun with flags!”

Looks great with the flags - join a dimension to it.

Thanks for sharing :slightly_smiling_face::+1:t2:

Thanks guys!

The base for it done.
The TUA itself isnt finished, but the base is.

Looks excellent! In my limited experience, white is very hard to weather and keep it subtle and realistic, and I think you nailed jt

How/where did you make/get your plaque?

@Canmedic I got the plaque custom made at trophy depot Engraving Plates the price is really good and there have alot of sizes. Plus on most of them getting the engraving is free.

Do I still qualify with this built (Resurrected! Braille Scale canadian Leo in A-Stan - #7 by panorama) started years ago? It would probably help me to refocus and get some progress done.

Just noticed this on eBay. I know some people were envious of my Avro CF-100 kit. One is for sale on eBay now. Not my auction just wanted to share since this is obviously relevant for this campaign.

Ok, so I thought the display base was done for the TUA then I decided to add a little ground work.

I think it looks passable for my first attempt at ground work.

Ezra, that really looks fantastic and it ties the model to the base. :+1:

Splendid!
But it would have worked just as fine without the groundwork, really.

Ezra, Since I’m feeling rather agreeable today, I’m agreeing with the previous comments. :grin:
