1/48 Tamiya RAF Mustang III - W/O Pietrzak

[s1chris]

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to stick to the applying feint camo pattern over the already applied flat aluminium and then follow that with another lighter coat of flat alu. That way it should add some depth to the model and not be the uniform pristine silver that it currently looks like.

Cheers Chris

Howdy all, I'm after a little input.

Would the spinner have been white for 309 (P) squadron?
I've seen a few profiles but can't confirm any as I have only seen black and white Mustang III pics and the spinner is hard to differentiate form the aluminium colour.

Edit - I have now also found a profile of this exact plane with a red spinner!?

Cheers Chris

Ok done a little more tonight. Applied washes in anger for the first time using Citedel black and rusty brown to break up the flat aluminium finish. Ready for decals -

Very happy with the way this is turning out.

I've also now done the spinner white.

Cheers Chris

Thanks All

Need to order the code letters this week so I will hopefully have it done within next week.

One question - yellow wing edges (decals). What are they? Should I apply them?

After this is finished 'm revisiting a couple of models that I never quite finished and will rebuild them.

Cheers Guys. Been busy leading up to the summer shutdown so have not made any further progress.
Modelling in anger will resume during the imminent two weeks holiday.
