Model Showcase #1: P-51
I present to you my Accurate Miniatures P-51. First things first, "Slick Chick" was a P-51A that was used for flight testing in the U.S. during WWII. The decals for "SC" come in Accu Minis F-6B kit. The kit is not a P-51A, which I didn't figure out until I was about 95% finished. Aftermarket parts consist of a cockpit set from True Details, wheels from Ultracast, and photo-etch from Eduard. It is painted with various shades of aluminum from Model Master and Alcald.
A friend of mine routed the base for me, and the ground work is 220 grit sandpaper painted with several shades of gray, and diluted oil paints for the oil stains.
