I should have photographed
this next to a "real" Mustang to give an idea of the size
of this thing. They didn't call it a Midget for nothing,
although I don't think they'd get away with that politically
incorrect moniker in this day and age. Somehow "Vertically
Challenged Mustang" just doesn't have the same ring
to it.
This is the first and so
far the only resin kit I've built. Nothing special about
it really, but I did replace the landing gear legs with
some cut from brass sheet. I just don't trust resin to
keep its shape especially with load bearing things like
landing gear. Granted, the load that these are carrying
amounts to little more than that of a peanut, but hey,
you never know.
I used SNJ to finish this.
Great stuff!
The decals were printed
on an Alps printer by Anders Bruun, ex-leader of the "Racing
& Record Breaking Aircraft" SIG. I'm not sure
if this group is still going.
