Polish Mustang III (316 Sqn RAF)

Thomas O'Eh
Looking good so far! I have the item on order, also planning to build a RAF Polish sqn from it, 315 in my case. Curious about your comment: What's wrong with the canopy? According to the manual a Malcolm canopy should be included?
Did you consciously choose the rear wheel bay color to be the same as the rest of the interior? My references show a zinc chromate yellow (e.g. Tamiya XF-4) for the rear wheel bay…

Thanks Thomas.
Yes, the Malcolm hood (aka blown) canopy is not present in my kit, only the "straight" one.
However I managed to modify it using some UV resin, it will have to do the job.
Regarding the rear wheel bay - yes I went for the yellow chromate (in my case the AK marker). My reference is AH's instruction 🙂

Hi Lukasz, now that you say it I can spot the difference! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

I'm planning to do another Mustang at some point, so I'm curious abou every build. Not the easiest kit I think? Good luck !!

Welcome.
Bas, of course it's not AH, but it's well designed and goes together very quickly.
Similarly to Revell's Phantom, but way fewer parts to assemble, so the painting stage comes very fast.

It is certainly a nice kit, although I changed it for the Arma Hobby one. Interesting experiment with the canopy bubble corrected with UV glue. I'll like to see the result.
Happy New Year, Łukasz!
