popeye the sailor Posted March 18, 2022 Share #62 Posted March 18, 2022 the molds for this kit likely covered several other kit subjects......some will even go as far as to include parts to make other variants too. you came out with a superb mustang E.G..........the paint looks great! it's a very smooth finish. it is still a little on the reflective side though......look at it a week or so down the road......it will tone down. the paint needs time to fully cure. I'm sure the main recipient of the process will much easier without all the rivets Jack12477, Egilman, Canute and 4 others 6 1 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

I'm sure the main recipient of the process will much easier without all the rivets Thanks dennis, yeah that kit has been redone many times over the years and remains a popular kit for those on a lower budget... Thank you for the compliment... One of the points of using RnB is that it never loses it's reflectiveness, according to Paul, his birds retained their shine and reflectiveness for 25 years on his first one and his B-29 looks the same as it did when he finished it... (20 years ago) if anything they seem to age the same way the metal ages when protected, the color will just darken slightly according to him...... I don't know, it's going on my shelf right now and if it's still around in ten or so years I guess we will see... Next one will be a smooth skinned bird...
