Great build, Keyda. I'm gonna hafta attempt that checkerboard pattern on one of my builds!

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

Keyda, I can say that you P-51 lives up to its name. Great job! Many of your builds are of kits that I have in my stash and will never get to build and this is another one, so thanks for the ride.

On the Bench:

Revell 1/96 USS Constitution - rigging

Revell 1/48 B-1B Lancer Prep and research

Trumpeter 1/350 USS Hornet CV-8 Prep and research

Nice finish, Keyda!  Nice job with the decals, checkboards are always a challenge.

That is a supreme finish. I still haven't mastered a NMF as they keep turning out dull and grey for me.

I'm obviously doing it wrong.

Keyda, if there are any wrinkles in that checkerboard pattern they don't show up in your pictures. That's beautiful!

Nicely done!

YesYes

Bravo Keyda!!! That is some super work that you pulled off here! And first time using the AK Extreme Metal stuff? You could be an ad for the stuff. 

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

That turned out fantastic.  By far my favorite of your builds.  Nice work on the NMF - surface prep is everything and you nailed it.  Well done!

Thanks,

John

Thanks Baron!

Mike, Putting a clear coat on it made the one piece I tried it on turn gray.  Used the metalizer sealer, and that didn't change the finish any.  I've tried metalizer before, but that didn't quite give the results I was looking for.  Works good for doing exhaust cans though.  Thank you!

Thanks stik!  Beginners luck maybe!

Thanks goldhammer!  I have done a good amount of improving over the years.  I've learned some patience, lol.  Building Mini Whiskey 7 really helped with that.  Showed myself I could do it.

Thanks keavdog!

Hey Keyda81, I have BBD on my To Do list too. (Doesn't every Mustang fan?) You did a beautiful scheme justice. Nice work, especially on the checkers. Great job!
