and the next.
the conversion will be possible available as a complete kit with decals , which will be made by J.Peddinghaus on microscale decal paper and printed with an alps printer(look at his page about the custom made decals!), and ICM mustang kit in the next time.
I dont know the definitely price now but it will be around 30-35 euro for the complete kit.the price will be addicted by the caster who is producing this set.
he is casting mechanically so no bubles or warpage will be "included"!
the handcraft is out here  B)
p.s. the next kit will be the Jet Mossie and the "Sea Typhoon" Hawker Project P.1009

regards :cheers:

at this time I can say the resin will be grey  ^_^
its soft enough to work with with and its hard enough to sand it.
the kit will be limited to 100 units.

Peter your amazing work is always worth our comments! I just love what you've done with this Mustang and am very happy to once again be able to see your progress on it!

Oh, and I'm terribly jealous of your skill and talent too.

Well, if you have 5 clients, count me as 6th (if the price is affordable); if you have 150 demands of 1/48th fans, don't count me: I have no priority at all as prefering 1/72 by far...

I can't help it but when I look at the nose I think of a Seagull and then I hear the Seagulls from Finding Nemo asking Mine? Mine? Mine?  :lol:

Looks great! I really like the unusual shape...and of course I envy your craftsmanship!

Oh, I don't: I love the FTB nose :wub:  and don't like the bulky Seagull-aircraft one... :(

Yes, we remind tenderly your XP-75, Glenn... :wub:
The FTB and P-75 would be nice together, but would the scales match?

That is going to be showing up at some hobby events, I'm sure. Great craftmanship there...

Okay, so not only does his modeling blow me away but even his *presentation* of the bits in his pics are cool.

Packing up me modeling bench now!   ;)

What scale is this one in?  I'm definitely interested.  For the Sea-Typhoon, I've got the issue of "Unknown" that has drawings, I'll be glad to supply same.  It would be interesting to see one modified like the Tempest II to take a radial engine.

Uh? Are you speaking of a Radial Sea-Typhoon? or a (more interesting for me) Radial FTB Mustang??? :blink:  :wacko:  :wub:
Well, this could be interesting: a Mustang with a central radial engine, like the Piaggio P.119...:

I would not say "impossible to scratch-build that much" because: who knows what can be done by the best of us (not me)?

Radial-engined Sea-Typhoon.  I suspect that trying to cool a radial engine in a FTB Mustang would be challenging, though I wonder if you could develop a liquid-cooled version of an existing radial engine?  Wright "Tornado" engine, perhaps?  The FTB with that might end up looking like the proposed Republic AP-18, XP-69.

I think I need this too.  Please add me to the list!

hi all!  :cheers:
I have a request guys.
any who is definitely interested please email me directly at nepio@gmx.de ok?
so i can made a list and email any and send him his kit after it was realised .
thanks for your interest  :wub:
I think the next one will be the Sea Typhoon (inline at this time  B) )
some guys at hyperscale says about the incorrect building of my FTB because it was (would be) realized on the basic A mustang type (like the one from Accurate/ICM). ...hmhmm...
Im building at this time the version of the Marine Stuka with folded wings as master and it will be realized too.the wapons included would be optionally the torpedo or bombentorpedo BT750.
the Sea Typhoon will be available in two options.with folded and unfolded wings.the version with unfolded wings is really big because of the much greater wing span of this aircraft.!
or...you will say the most interesting option is the one build by me .one wing folded and one unfolded?
any kit will be realized in the 1/48 scale but the idea to make some in 1/72 is perceived and will be realized in the future possible.but at this time the most interest known dealers is the bigger 1/48 scale...
regrads and thanks again for any interest! :cheers:
