Hello modellers! This
is my first article published on this site. I chose for this opportunity my
last model : the Tamiya 1/48 P-51 B. No problems to build this
wonderful
kit, I just added Eduard photo etch part for detailling the cockpit. You may
have some troubles if you choose the Tamiya decals.

for paint I used
Tamiya's & gunze's. I airbrushed the white ETO-stripes on because that gives
a much more convincing result than decals. For the topside of the plane I used
75% olive drab & 25% yellow-green. For the underside, I used 85% neutral
grey with 15% white. Weathering was done with Star Dust pigments.
I choose Don Gentile's plane. I had some problems with the antenna which (as you could see on photos) is a
bit slack... The next time I'll make it differently! Good pleasure and I
soon hope to have my 1/48 Hasegawa F8E-FN French Crusader on ARC....
Sébastien
