Hasegawa P51

Here is my first model. Not completely done by close.It went together pretty well and i learned a lot from it.
I ended up painting the stripes on because i ruined the sticker trying to put them on.

Hope you like...

Thanks guys..Quick question. What should i use to attached the canopy? I dont think CA is a good idea.

thanks

Nice work!
Canopy: White glue, or Micro Kristal Klear (white glue) is what i use. Both dry clear. use a toothpic to carefully apply it evenly. Then a lightly moistened cotton bud to clean up any that might swqeeze out.

Good finish on the model.

From the photo, I couldn't tell that the stripes were painted on ;D

 

[Nitrobeast]

Thanks guys. I'll run over to lhs tomorrow and pick something up for the canopy.

Nice first pass! Thanks for asking the canopy question. I learned something new from the respone.

Nice clean build, good work Nitro

 

[Nitrobeast]

Thanks for all the kind words.

Do you guys think it's too late to try some weathering?
This build has been all about learning for me so I figure if its not late I would try some.

 

[MossyOakClan]

Not too late. Try a wash (powder & water). It's the easiest in my opinion and you can't really mess it up since it can all wipe off if you don't like it. Would really give it an instant weathered look and bring out the panel lines.

 

[Nitrobeast]

Ok it looks like the power comes in lots of colors. Any suggestions?
I was thinking black or brown.

 

[Ferris928]

What are you using for weathering?

Sorry, I'm new to this. What do you mean by what am I using?

What were you gonna use for this?

 

[Nitrobeast]

Whatever my lhs has. When I searched online I saw lots of colors so I asked about colors

 

[Peppylepugh]

Yeah Nitro,
Our very own Chung, does a video SBS on weathering
with powders, pastels, or chalk, as Mossy Oak was
suggesting.
Maybe someone could post a link to that. I am not too
savvy with that kinda thing.
