The
painting was done with Alclad II Aluminium Lacquers as usual.
The
base color is Alclad Natural Aluminium. For different panels shading I’ve
used Alclad White and Dark Aluminium also.
D-day
bands are painted by using Tamiya acrylics.
The
“bubble moving canopy” is
replaced with an old Hasegawa part from my spare box.
The
decals are from Tally Ho P-51 Mustang Aces Part 2
set.
Happy
modelling
