This is the superb Tamiya
bubbletop Mustang built as a USAF Korean War F-51. The kit was
assembled and decaled out of the box.

To add interest to the bmf I
spray-primed the whole model with Halfords grey auto-primer and then masked off
various panels etc with Tamiya masking tape. Next I sprayed Halfords
"Nissan Silver" and when dry removed the masking tape and polished the
whole with SNJ powder. The grey primed panels give a dull finish which
contrasts with the shiny spray silver areas.
The Tamiya Mustangs
are some of the best engineered kits that I had the pleasure of building!
