1/48 Hobby Boss (Easy Build) P-51D Mustang IV "Dooleybird", 1945

Just a quick build, one of the Hobby Boss "easy build" range, went together well this one, not bad for a cheaper kit.

I used AK Xtreme Aluminium, but over flat black to give it a duller appearance, also used Mission Models, Tamiya, Vallejo metal colour, Flory dark dirt wash and AK Gauzy.

Mustangs look so different in RAF dress. Very nice looking build. You can't go wrong with any p-51.

Those easy build kits are a great test beds for refining and perfecting techniques.  Nice finish, she looks the business.

Cheers, Love Ak Xtreme metal, always use this when I want a nice NM finish, I also use Vallejo Metal Colours, which are nice, but being acrylic, they do not have a nice as finish
