Very nice job Grubby

I agree with Grubby, I think can be very interesting see two different style on the same subject

I'm sure we can see another fantastic masterpiece made by GFR

cheers

I've grunged up A68-121 a bit now and added some zero-length rocket launchers.

... and here's my first crack at an unpolished natural metal one. Any suggestions are more than welcome!

This second one has more realistic panels (talking about metal effect).

I agree with Ugo. #2 is better.

hi graeme,

beautifull,

with regard the 2nd one, have you checked this thread with regard the different thickness of skinning,

i have not checked to see if you have, just wondered, for anyone that don't know, different thicknesses of alclad have a very slightly different colour, and i mean only very slight.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

Bear in mind that A68-121 is actually silver painted. A68-81 – A68-200 were locally produced aircraft and all came out of the factory with overall silver paint. A68-2 was made from US components so had the bare metal fuselage.

I'll be doing a polished fuselage soon too.

This really is a nice series of RAAF Mustangs, great looking silver paintwork. I have one minor nit pick tho, I reckon you could add a little more roundness to the spinners, esp between the blades as it looks a little flat (A68-121 in particular)there to me.

Beautiful work Grub!! Great metal work.

Some picky, picky stuff for your consideration- those Ham Stand prop blades look strange at that angle, but I don't have a photo to point to; and shouldn't the valley gap between the lower fuselage and radiator intake be shorter (intake lip toward tail) back to the cockpit air intake?

Hi Vacajun, thanks for your comments.

I have to agree about the props. I thought I'd do them set at 45? because everyone else sets them at 90?. But it just looks wierd. I also wanted to show the shape of the holes in the spinner.

The scoop matches my references. Which specific part do you think is out of whack?

Graeme.
