Zoukei-Mura 1/32 P-51D Mustang
Posted by BattleTweety on Sunday, January 14, 2024 12:34 AM

This is my 4th 1/32 WW2 fighter build. The Zoukei-Mura kit has been designed to be built with a complete interior in the fuselage, wings and engines so its not like a typical fuselage that comes in two halves. Rather its a series of panels that are laid over the frame and so comes with its own challenges in trying to line everything up. This kit is not for the feint hearted and needs plenty of patience. I had to use a bit of filler where the engine cowling didn't line up and had some considerable gaps and mismatches.
I used AK Extreme metal paints with a combination of Steel and Stainless Steel. Interiors were painted with Tamiya XF-4 Yellow Green as an approximate of chromate green.

Love the presentation!  Too many parts in a kit does present its challenges, but also hopefully rewards.
