Man, that's a very nice job! How do you like the AK metallic paints?
 

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

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

Looks great but I have a question, what is up with the green background?Stick out tongue 

 

Just the fabric I use as a background, keep it a uniform colour, been using it for years

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

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.
