This is
a Tamiya 1/48 Scale P-51K Mustang depicted as a Royal Australian Air Force
machine in the great looking shark-mouthed livery of 76 Sqn, Iwakuni Japan circa
1947...

It was painted
with a combination of Gunze & Tamiya acrylics and the amazing Alclad
II series of paints in a variety of metallic shades, and armed with 6 x
5inch HVAR rockets and a pair of 500lb bombs for a ground support sortie
Decals are the
Hawkeye "P-51 Mustang RAAF Post WWII" set #N-48051
These settled
very nicely with careful application of Gunze decal softener - and
following a shot of semi gloss, they look like they're painted on :-)
The Tamiya
Mustang is one of the most carefully engineered kits that I have ever
built - and I'd love to make one of these in 1/32... Plus, silver RAAF
P-51's are simply gorgeous (IMHO!) :-D
Happy
modelling from Australia!
