The
model that I present to you today is the F-51D Mustang in 1/48 scale from
Hasegawa, a fabulous model, very precise, but above all....simple to
build. I have used
little filler, therefore the filling and sanding has been very limited.
The kit represents a F-51D during the Korean War and therefore I
have shaded some panels (on a wing, and on the tail) as if they had been replaced
in the field.

I exclusively used
MODEL-MASTER colors, but in particular the
aluminium METALIZER, diluted already and ready to the use, which after
having dried and possible to polish it with a cloth, which gives a
believable metallic finish. Then
I painted the parts in yellow, and finally the anti-glare panel.
As
a final task, I airbrushed the gun smoke stains of the machine guns, in a heavy
enough way. A Beautiful model
that I recommend to all!!!
