Steve - I've been watching this one in the GB, and I have to say you're doing an amazing job so far. I hope you find the part, and I can't wait to see it come along!

Steve,

You are doing a bang up job on that mustang. I am building the D/K version myself. Best kit I have ever built, only problems are the ones that I have made.

Keep posting!

You gotta love these Tamiya 1/32 birds. This one is looking awesome so far! Fantastic work! Been gone from these forums for a while - glad I made it back in time to see this build come together! Yes

I am back to working on Moonbeam. Next will be the Alclad treatment on the fuselage. The wings and horizontal stab have MM aluminum.

Looks great, Steve! Just for my records, what color blue are you using for this?

Sorry I haven't kept up on this, but it has taken me much longer than expected.
I have completed Moonbeam but still need to make a base and complete the figures.

A work of art. I love it, especially in the blue format! That must have been a challenge!

Steve, I have a stable of Mustangs in 1/48 including breeds of Tamiya, Revell, and Accurate Miniatures. But Tamiya's 1/32 has to be the Mustang of Mustangs. With your current offering you have joined the forum of excellent productions of it.

Thanks guys, it was a supurb kit, well worth the cost. Now if I can just get up the willingness to paint the figures (my weakest area of the hobby) and get it/them on a base.

Outstanding work, Modelcrazy Steve! I just bought this kit myself (along with the Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair in 1/32), and am looking forward to starting on it soon. I hope that I do half as good a job as you've done with yours!

Thanks DD,

It's a great kit, loads of fun. Be mindful of the hardware though, they are easy to loose. Also I found that the magnets they want you to install are unnecessary if you are going to glue the panels down, they are meant for removable panels and operating doors.
