Hello everyone,

Black stripes ...

Really nice paintwork. The stripes have come out well

Posted: **Sun Dec 14, 2025 1:04 am**

The paint work is lovely and as Stokesy says the stripes really pop, but the metal finish is perfectly understated.
How did you do that ? No blemishes that I can see.

Posted: **Fri Dec 19, 2025 10:13 am**

Nice work Buddy, that Eduard kit looks really awsome!

Posted: **Sun Dec 21, 2025 10:52 am**

Disaster with Eduard decals!
I followed the instructions at https://info.eduard.com/en/02-2024-1/page-88... and this is the result after I pulled the transparent film off...

What should I do now?
Where can I find replacement decals?

Posted: **Mon Dec 22, 2025 3:11 am**

Ive had that happen with the film removal technique. Did you leave it on for 24 hours?
try ebay for decals. Or test our your masking and painting skills.

Posted: **Mon Dec 22, 2025 9:48 pm**

Nightmare.

Hannants are a good online retailer. If you use their search function to find a 1/48 Mustang kit, you'll be able to see loads of after market decals sets you can choose from.

I managed to fix something...

lovely

Good save

Posted: **Thu Dec 25, 2025 8:27 am**

Great finish. How did you fix the decals?

Posted: **Thu Dec 25, 2025 11:35 pm**

Excellent build - as usual.

And a great save on the decals - I'll echo the question of how??

Posted: **Sun Dec 28, 2025 9:26 pm**

Just a few final touches, such as removing the silvering from the propeller decals, and it'll be ready for take-off!

I removed the Eduard decals (with some difficulty) and replaced them with decals from another kit.

Holy C that looks good

Super clean Mustang

What was up with the decals??
I am surprised you removed them and impressed you did without collateral damage.

Posted: **Fri Jan 09, 2026 7:49 pm**

Beautiful finish. I really like the final tone of the kit and how the surface detail has been picked out
