Early Mustang - P-51 with 20mm cannons


After the Panther wanted something simple so picked out the Ace P-51. This is the early cannon armed Allison Engined Mustang. The ACE kit is a Korean boxing of the Accurate Miniatures kit, and is nice and simple


As is normal work starts with the cockpit - first the instrument panel


Then built up the cockpit and sidewalls


Fitted the fuselage halves together then slotted the instrument panel in from the front


Finally fitted the Allison engine nose, and filled the small gaps with some Mr Dissolved Putty, then sanded back

Finished this morning, one of my favourite kits the Eduard Aircobra, this time in the Special Edition MTO Theatre boxing. Painted with Gunze throughout, and weathered with Pastels, Oils and AK and Mig Solutions.   The build thread is available if interested  here   Apologies for the slightly uneven photos, but one of my lamps bulbs went part way through, so the white balance was tricky - if it ever stops snowing I may take some more outside.

Humber Armoured Car Mk II, 11th Hussars, 7th Armoured Division 'Desert Rats'

Finished today for the 'Actung Panzer GB' over on Britmodeller, the Bronco Humber Armoured Car Mk II  OOB . This is a lovely kit but not for the faint hearted. It doesn't have a full interior, it's a complete armoured car - chassis, control linkages, engine, gear change and lots of gear inside. Painted with AK Interactive Light Stone ( From their Caunter Set ), Tamiya paints for the rest of the cammo, and Vallejo for the details. Weathered with a full range of AK Interactive / Ammo / Mig potions and pigments.
