Here
is my F-51 D Mustang in South African Air Force colors.
It
was employed by Allied in Korea circa 1952.The idea was
suggested to me with decals
sent to me by my dear friend Tony
Dill that lives in Boston South Africa Rep. and by an article on the Italian
Model Wing modelling
magazine.

I
used the Academy kit, unfortunately the item has some deep scratches on the
right wing and plastic retreats on the fuselage with cyanocrylate glue,
Polywatch paste and Tremillimetri polish
paste I reduced the problem.
After
a long series of incident (in my town it’s very hard to find modelling
accessories as thinner or colors) and after I lost “on the way” my double
action airbrush , finally I finished the model as you can see.
I
weathered the model with oil colors and pastels (without airbrush…).
The
real machine it’s very dirty on the photos, because the first hot sun of
springtime 1952 melted the snow on the body aircraft.
Happy
modelling,
Felix
