I nearly picked up this kit before Christmas. 

Subscibing!

I expect you'll do this one just as fabulously as your last one. 

You're getting really good at these NMF paint schemes. :)

These are quite nice for a quick, simple, "decompression" build, after a long project!Toast

The first time I did this kit...the decals wanted no part of being cooperative. It was as if there was somewhere between little and zero adhesive. They were also fairly translusent.

The second time around, just a couple years ago, I jazzed it up a but with different decals and an engine...

I stuck it in the display case at my airport...so I wouldn't have to look at it much!

Good to see you doing more in a proper scale Toshi Wink. What you using for the NMF.

 

LOL!  I'm using Vallejo Metal Color.  Never tried this before.

It's tiny!  Lol.  I don't think I could do one of those in that scale.  It has to be about the same size as a P-39 right?  If so I'd have to stick with 1/48, or better yet 1/32.

Totally agree with you on the weather, it's in the teens here currently. 

 

Yes, it's tiny but not as tiny as a 1/144!  LOL!  It's actually not bad at all and Academy does a pretty decent job in fit and finish.  Thank you so much for your support in my projects!

Here is my next project build.  I've already built a Academy 1/72 Mustang dressed in OD.  This will be a NMF Mustang.  This is one of the Christmas presents from Mrs. Toshi.  I'm glad I have something to keep me busy especially in this North East Ohio winter weather.  It's a balmy 7 degrees right now!  LOL!  

This build will be OOB.  Simple yet nice, I hope.  It will give me a breather after assembling the C-54D Skymaster.  That was one fun yet very involved build.  I still have a Academy 1/72 TBF Avenger waiting as well as a Academy 1/48 P-38 Lightning with Eduard Brassin AM.
