P-51

Hi guy's

i am thinking of buying a dragon p-51 mustang, 1/32 scale

Have you guy's any idea what Revell paints i would require for this model as the ones i have seen are more or less silver with the odd bit of colour.

Sorry for more questions

Keith

Thanks Lucky

changed my mind now. To much work on the p-51 for me

The Dragon kit turns out well, eventually! But, believe me, it's a bl**dy nightmare for parts fit. The fit of the beautiful internal parts doesn'y exist - they don't match up.
However, the (cheaper) old Hasegawa kit is still pretty good, and you wouldn't have fit prioblems. There are a couple of small inaccuracies , such as the seat and control column, but it makes a nice model.
If you're going for a 'bare metal' bird, have a look at my thread on 'Bare Metal Finishes'.
