Thanks, but compared to my latest builds this one isn't as good I would like to also build a RAF or RCAF Mustang to go along with this one. I'm working on a Tamiya Gloster Meteor right now, but a Spit would be nice to build at a later date. I have a Lockheed Ventura, Halifax, Hawk and Tomcat to build also.

Tamiya's 1/48 Mustang III kit is great. So is their 1/48 Spitfire Mk Ia. Their 1/32 Spitfire Mk IX is superb as well.

I have seen all 3 of those kits, I'll have to save my nickles cause you can't really save pennies anymore!

Thanks, I have learned a lot since I built this and know I could do a better job, but that means a lot!

Thanks, there are a few flaws here and there, but hey it was I think the 5th model I have built and took my time.

You do know that even the real ones are not perfect

Stop over and take a look at my tanks and I do have a few planes to.

That is true.

Those takes look amazing, they look very realistic. I'm guessing you must have used an airbrush on them? I said I was going to be building a Wildcat next, but I'm actually working on a Texan. I'm finding out how crappy yellow covers haha.

The best thing you can do for working with yellow is to use a flat white primmer coat. I've also see guys use flat white and use yellow ink and not paint. I tried it one time, but I couldn't get the hand of it.

Yes I use and airbrush on some of them, it does help when your doing the German tanks. However I think the dry brushing brings out the best in the details.

I will remember that for next time I paint a model yellow. I finished the Texan and I'm not real happy with it. I'm planing on building a CH-149 Cormorant in the near future and they are all yellow. I picked up some Humbrol glossy yellow, so I'm hoping it will cover better!

Right now I'm working on a 1.72 scale Golden Hawks Canadair Sabre Mk6, so far its turning out great.

Dry brushing does give a nice effect. I'm mostly just looking to use an airbrush for camo and where colors meet and blend together.
