1/48 Revell P-51D Mustang

--------------------

 

I built this kit out of the box.  It went together very easily, and I built it in a weekend.  I’m on a very tight budget, so I hand brushed the entire kit with a Testors military color paint set.  I painted smaller details with a toothpick.  I used the stock decals, and no aftermarket detail stuff.

I weathered it with chalk pastels. I think I may have gone overboard a little bit, but I think it still has a more realistic look than just painting it straight silver and green.  I wasn’t worried about accuracy and detail as much as having fun.
