Guy, this is an incredible looking Mustang! Not only did you raise the bar, you completely removed the bar and threw it out in the yard.

Muckers thank you! With the Mustang getting finished I prepared six mdf panels of 21cm x 21cm by sanding, priming, sanding again and later on by rolling on a finishing coat. The primer is Petrol Blue for house painting. It will be coated with Silk Black. I never spend a lot of money on bases but still they have to look neat. This is a first series for my future Mustangs, Spits and Hawkers. As you can see I put my teeth in building airplanes, so I admit I'm completely lost in the Dark Side. May the Air Force be with me.

The base was supposed to be finished in black but the blue won. Every now and then we have to try something else.

Wow! That is beautiful! Yeah, you have to go with the blue base because that really goes so well with the plane.

Thank you guys, this one's finished, 95% out of the box and a joy to build as it's a shake and bake typical Tamiya. Many more photos in my Armorguy's 2023 Year in modelling. Tanks for joining me, advising and helping me during the build!💐
