The Range of 1:700 Scale Ships Manufactured by Tamiya

[thestonecuttersguild]

Finished stuff Friday!

At Airventure this year, they had all of these tables full of vintage model kits! Oh my, my jaw hit the floor. I picked up this Tamiya Mustang, an Accurate P-51, a Monogram F-8, and two Bearcat kits.

I'd bought this Tamiya RAF Mustang before, but I built it as a Tuskegee mount instead, since I had decals for it. Since this was an original boxing (1996) the decals were in pretty bad shape, and a few of them crumbled as I was applying. Luckily, I have a spare decal sheet for this kit, though the one I have must be a later boxing, because it isn't exactly the same. That one has all of the meatballs seperate from the roundels.

Anyhow, loved the vintage kits, the Tamiya P-51 is a perfect kit, hard to screw this one up. Painted mostly with Tamiya rattle spray, except for the yellow leading edges, the white nose, and the fuselage bamd which were brushed.

Very lazy doodle, but you see my vision.

The fact that I immediately thought of this just proves I might be beyond saving, but oh well. Potentially a decent occasion for the Litchi Hikari Club fandom, less so for my likely horrified mutuals, but I do what I must.

Based on this Twitter post I came across randomly.

久しぶりの更新です。写真を見てると塗装の剥がれはあまりなさそうなので、砂と泥汚れを主にウェザリングしてみました。

Zero cares given in building this... barely any in slapping paint on it...

The decals, normally applied by soaking in water then sliding off the backing paper, I clipped out and stuck on with clear sticky tape.

And it was a hoot to slap this thing together like a barely supervised 7 year old!

Time check, start to finish....
