More on Mustangs!

Just a quick update on 1/32nd scale P-51 Mustang build and decals. The Tamiya kit  build is basically on hold while I work on the RAAF Mustang decals commission. This is taking much longer than expected but it should be worth the effort in the end with some never seen before RAAF Mustangs.

Unfortunately this has meant a reschedule on the release of the other P-51 Mustang decal release,  'Fool's Paradise' . I'll work towards getting this done by Christmas, 2011 that is!

Oh yes, nearly forgot, I've been asked a few times about the decal 'Galland' in 1/32nd scale and in particular why the kill bars on the rudder are all black. Well, that's what I thought they were at the time of building the kit but the AI decal gives you both a black and red version of the 60 kill bars. You can use either or combine bits from each.  This gives you the freedom to mix the colours to whatever you think is correct! My  advice is to look at the primary reference photos right here on this blog and put little weight on the other photos floating around the internet.
