Newest addition to my gallery is the 1/48 Tamiya Mustang as “Ole Yeller”. 

Converted the kit to a 2 seater, I used some parts from the DEF Model set for Maverick’s Mustang to complete the civilian parts.  Guns and ammo boxes were filled in. I purposely used two different styles of panel lines. Pictures in real life show a clean plane except around the engine. The canopy was tinted a green-blue color. I also added a second landing light, which is seen on his aircraft.

Yellow paint is RLM 04 Gunze C113 with a Mr. Color Semi-Gloss Finish. Decals are from Draw. The Bob Hoover figure is a train figure; I replaced his hat with Bob’s trademark straw hat. The base is from Bases By Bill, which was painted, and I added some grass.
