Tamiya 1/48 RAF Mustang

Post by das84 »

Just a few pictures of my latest completed build, all out of the box with the exception of the PE seatbelts. I decided I was going to have another go at post shading so spent ages squiggling various shades of lightened paint all over only for majority of my effort to disappear under the coats of varnish, there is only one small patch where its showing through so I'm guessing the key is to not try and be quite so subtle with it.

Looks really nice mate. Lesson learnt for the next on re: the shading. You don't improve unless you realise what did/didn't work, so don't worry about it. The result looks great as is though, thumbs up!

Thanks for the comments, Have discovered the paint fading isnt quite as invisible as I first thought it just depends what light you look at it under.
