jwvolz Posted June 10, 2020 #1 Posted June 10, 2020 This is going to be a quick little build. Small, not a ton of parts and closed canopy, so I'm not going nuts in the cockpit. Academy makes some nice little 1/72 props including the P-51B kit. Started today and just brush painted everything in there, coated with Future and will wash and dry brush tomorrow. Didn't feel like using the airbrush. The only addition is some tape seat belts. The fun will come in the exterior painting. The "Geronimo" scheme on the Eagle Strike aftermarket decal sheet is OD over natural metal with full invasion stripes, which are always fun in this scale.

jwvolz Posted June 10, 2020 Author #2 Posted June 10, 2020 Cockpit is washed, flat coated and dry brushed. With it all closed up you won't see a whole lot anyway...Ready to seal up the fuselage.

Canute Posted June 11, 2020 #4 Posted June 11, 2020 Yes, it does. Aftermarket in this scale would be overkill. And the kit maker did such a nice job with their moldings. jwvolz, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
