Return to Index   P-51B "U've Had It" in all her glory! July 31 2011 at 9:33 PM Roachie-in-Oz  (Login Roachie-in-Oz) HyperScale Forums from IP address 123.211.167.179 Tamiya's P-51B with Malcolm hood representing John England's mount "U've Had It!". Firstly an overall watercolour wash; a mixture of Black, Raw Umber and Burnt Sienna: [IMG][/IMG] Now to transform the three swastikas on the decals to ducks!! Not absolutely convincing and until something else comes along...... [IMG][/IMG] looking down on the stbd side the invasion stripes stand out well. Due to a dichotomy concerning the serial number, I elected to go for '2' rather than '3' as the final numeral: [IMG][/IMG] At ground level she looks the part [IMG][/IMG] Decals used were a mixture of Aeromaster, Superscale, SkyModels and hand made. Upper Medium Green is Aeromaster Acrylic RAF Green. Alclad formed the NMF sections and Tamiya for the Invasion Stripes, thinned with Gunze Lacquer. Enjoy.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
