I'm going to have landing gear, so I put some paint stir sticks on the inside of the wing.

Mustang build log con.

To paint the wheels I covered it with masking tape.


IMG_2133.JPG




Then I cut out a hole in the middle of the wheel all the way around the hub.

1740792049042.jpeg






This is what it looks like when it is done.


1740792118544.jpeg



First I put on the Silver coat of paint.


1740793359899.jpeg


Unfortunately i sanded it with too low a grit sand paper. so it went through the water proofing, so the paper wrinkled a little bit, also the paper got scratched.


1740793838359.jpeg



Then I painted the nose, wing tips, and tail stabilizers red. Next I masked of the canopy and nose.





1740794262426.jpeg

1740794343384.jpeg


Then I added the decals.

1740794771669.jpeg



It was complex to build 5 (1 out of 5)

It took about 8-12 Hours to build

It took about 3 Hours to Paint (that is not including dry time)

It Was fairly easy to fly 3 (1 out of 5)


Do and Don't's

when you sand it do not use a low grit sand paper,

If you scratch build try to be precise when cutting out the pieces (it will go together better and easier),

Those scratches aren’t errors, they’re battle marks!

Dos and Don'ts

When you paint make sure you let the Paint fully dry before you put masking tape on.

Do a light base coat of paint before you put on your primary coat
