P-51 Mustang P-51 Mustang

This is one of my first modelling projects with aircraft – the P-51D Mustang by Italeri. Although it looks pretty ok in these pictures, I know better. I made a lot of mistakes with this model kit, including:

  1. Using the wrong combination of acrylic / lacquer paints
  2. I fogged up the cockpit / canopy clear parts
  3. I had to repaint parts of the model many times
  4. I broke many decals and had to hide it with excessive weathering

But what the heck, it was a cheap model kit and this was supposed to be “practise” anyways. It was a good opportunity to use my airbrush on such a small model. It was so small in fact that I dropped it more than once which building it. The antenna was glued and re-glued many times.

But like I said, it looks not too bad in this picture, right?
