For my next build I am going back to 1/48 World War II aircraft. I will be building Tamiya’s 1/48 RAF Mustang III. For this build I will also be using Kagero Decals to replicate the aircraft flown by the Polish Pilot F/L Mieczystaw Gorzula of the 309 squadron based at RAF Andrews Field. This was the aircraft that F/L Gorzula shot down a Me-262 jet fighter on April 9th 1945.
The first week was spent adding photo etch details to the cockpit tub, instrument panel, and the pilot seat. I then painted, assembled, and installed the cockpit into the fuselage. I then assembled the fuselage halves. There are some areas that required a little putty but the halves fit very well together. I am working on the wings and landing gear bays now.
You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/48 Tamiya RAF Mustang III
