Łukasz GlińskiWelcome eveyone and best regards from Al-Andaluz 😉
PS. Si, got all these damn QRs with me 😉

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome y'all!
Back from my short holidays - started cutting the fuselage today, while the seatbelts are still somewhere on the way from the shop.
@Cuajete: Gracias Señor, that was very nice trip indeed 🙂

Thomas KolbWelcome back! If I know you, you will be swooshing by my slow project like a flock of ... Mustangs.

Łukasz GlińskiWell, the resin thingy will slow me down for sure, check it out 😉

Thomas KolbProgress looks fine to me! The resin part is a conversion to another Mustang version, right?

Łukasz GlińskiYes, P-51K as far as I'm concerned. And the new prop is included as well. The only difference on the fuselage are these tiny outlet 'flaps', currently available in other sets, but I didn't want to throw that old set away.

Łukasz GlińskiSoon, I hope 🙂 Meanwhile the maskol is drying in order to start priming.

CuajeteI'm looking for a liquid mask like Maskol that I can leave on models for a long time without spoiling it.

Łukasz GlińskiI had other challenge - finding one that can be stored for a long time and Vallejo failed such test. The one you see here is Wamod, got it 2 weeks ago, let's see how it behaves.

Łukasz GlińskiThanks mates, started painting yesterday.
@Cuajete: that Wamod thingy seems quite nice, stinks as all of them, but seems to do its job. And is quite cheap too. Will see how it behaves when stored for a longer while.

CuajeteMetallized looks so good, Łukasz 👍
Thanks for the information. Waiting for more time your comments 😉

Łukasz GlińskiAll credits to Mr.Hobby SM paints, they are very easy to handle (and resistant), way better than Alclads for example.

Thomas KolbLooking sweet - that metal finish is just lovely! I cannot wait to restart my Mustang project again!

Łukasz GlińskiThx mates, I'm glad to see you like it. The SM paints are really easy to handle, even for me 😄
Thomas, looking forward to seeing your green-blue one, the Swedish camo looks great on P-51s.

Łukasz GlińskiThx Jan. Small update before a week of break - added the MGs, yellow leading edges and started the prop painting.
Had issues with the guns, the 1,2mm drill requested in instruction turned out to be too thin - my advice: get them done before painting.

Łukasz GlińskiGracias, added some updated pics today.
Still looking for the kill markings replacement, as you see the white is out of register 🙁
28 February 2022, 20:43
Gordon SørensenNice looking NMF, Lukasz! Looks like the decals went down great, too.

Łukasz GlińskiThanks mates, need to solve the kill markings issue and it's gonna be ready for the final matt varnish.
6 March 2022, 19:22
Łukasz GlińskiDzięki Patryk. 🙂 Finished the bugger today, hangar pics to follow tomorrow.

Robert PodkońskiLooks fantastic! (and the lettering on the bottom of the wing is really surprising - do you know why it was like this?)
8 March 2022, 20:47
Łukasz GlińskiThanks.
Robert, the AJ Press book states that it was misinterpretation of the orders of painting them to be readable from the tip of the wing towards the fuselage 🙂
8 March 2022, 21:12
CuajeteVery nice result, Łukasz!
Waiting for the hangar pics 👍
How did Wamod's liquid mask turn out after all this time on it?
9 March 2022, 19:05
Łukasz GlińskiThanks a lot, enjoy the hangar pics, just uploaded 🙂
@Cuajete: The mask behaved very well and it's still fluid in its jar.
