Thing Two's 1/72 P-51D Mustang Part 3 - The Final Chapter

Here is the gripping conclusion to Thing Two's snap together Mustang. After having it sit on the TV stand for about a week, we (I) thought it looked a little too clean.

Here is the completed model, like it just rolled off the factory assembly line. A terrible, terrible factory assembly line.

Enough of that. Let's dirty it up!

I pulled out my Tamiya Weathering set and let him have at it with the soot pastel. Here he is adding the exhaust stains.

Adding some smoke streaks to the guns.

We used the silver artist pencil to add chipping. Random chipping in odd places? Whatever.

Completed soot effects.

Uniform silver chipping spots on the prop? Sure.

That's that. Here is a little recap about the kit itself.

Seam lines? Everywhere.
Paint job? Well it was $9.
Kit quality? I guess it looks like a Mustang.
Ease of build for a six year old? Somewhere between really good and great.
