After painting quite a few WoP Mustangs and Harvards, I've gone back to my first love, the high resolution WWII Mustang.
Here are a few of my recent paintjobs:
Image

First I revisited two old friends, Suzon and the Duchess, and gave them a make-over. See if you can spot the difference if you still have (and occasionally fly) one of the older ones.
Image

and then I thought, I really like that yellow nose, why not another one, that became TIKA IV
Image
Image
Then somebody complained about the lack of Pacific paintschemes for the hi-res Mustangs, and as this one was already on my to do list, I thought I might as well make a Tomcat
Image
And I stumbled across a nice understated Texan, with a relatively easy paintscheme, so painted that too
Image

and finally, I thought, why does it always have to be a military paintjob? I'd been looking for a nice civilian paint, but so far unsuccesful, but when I saw this, I just had to do it. It is actually the paintscheme this plane had BEFORE it was painted as the Flying Undertaker, the only paintjob that came with the WWII Mustang, so that was a nice touch as well.

I hope you like'em, and hope that, if you have the WWII Mustang, give them a try someday.
Oh, and if you do, please tell me what you think!

Cheers,

Jan Kees

p.s. sorry Harold, more Mustangs....

Excellent stuff JK! Are you willing to do fictive repaints as well?

Sure Harold, I've actually done a few in the past (never uploaded them though, this one for example was made for and together with my daughter, can you guess her name?)

Image

Tell me what you'd like and I'll see what I can do, who knows, you may even take it for a spin in Alaska?
