At the top of this thread, I like the B model with the checker tail. But, the main undercarriage door is back to front and on the wrong side. Sorry but needs to be pointed out . Still a very nice diorama nevertheless.

I may have to set about photographing all my Mustangs like I did with my P-47s.

Very nice Rowan, different scheme to. Markings done by yourself?

Dave

Thank you. No the markings were aftermarket, I don't have the equipment nor skill to make my own. The sheet was SuperScale Decals 48-1137.

The above is one of my 20 built 1/72 models of the lovely P-51. If all of you can bear it, I 'll post piccies up of the others that I have and of the 1/48th ones.

This was about where I was in 2009, and I've built another 3 or 4 since then and have another 2 on the go at present, with about another dozen still to go.

Hi All.

Part 2 of my previous P-51 Mustang builds. All 1/72nd.

IMG_4144.jpg

IMG_4170.jpg

One of my very early builds still in existence. Its the 2nd incarnation of the Airfix kit when they introduced rivet detail. Also somewhere the prop is around that I must look for. The first one had very heavy raised detail for the controls and no rivets for example. I also added the fin fillet! The model above has Almark decals for a RNZAF squadron whose number I've forgotten but I'm sure our NZ members will comment.

IMG_4157.jpg

The Hasegawa kit from the early 70's. Microscale decals. Note that the carrier film has yellowed. I built this back in the 70s around 71-72 I think. The pilot of Jersey Jerk I met at Duxford Legends a couple of years ago.

IMG_4152.jpg

IMG_4153.jpg

Another Hasegawa kit. No mods done apart from trying to eradicate the coarse fabric of the elevators. I like this earlier Hase kit as it has deeper wheel bays than the newer retool that had shallower bays. But at least not the sack cloth rudder/elevators. Decals from the Airfix retool P-51D of around the 70's.

IMG_4159.jpg

Hasegawa kit again and decals from the newer tool. An original hasegawa kit but rescribed surface details.

IMG_4155.jpg

Hasegawa and Microscale decals. By now I started to try and improve my models and rescribed the panel lines and engine cover rivets on this older tool Hasegawa kit too.

IMG_4150.jpg

IMG_4151.jpg

Older Hasegawa kit and Aeromaster decals. The unshrouded exhaust units were from the Revell kit. I cut away the kit exhausts to make way for these. I also carried out similar operations on a couple of the other D's seen here but gave them better shrouded stacks.

IMG_4154.jpg

Newer tooling of Hasegawa kit and its decals. Might refurb this one sometime.

IMG_4156.jpg

OK, OK, another 'BBD'!Yawn!! Tamiya kit and decals.

IMG_4160.jpg

Now to earlier variants. Italeri Kit and decals.

IMG_4164.jpg

Revell kit, Techmod decals, and Squadron vacform canopy. The Squadron canopies are designed to fit the Hasegawa P-51B kits, but I adapted them to fit the Revell ones.

IMG_4163.jpg

Academy kit and decals.

IMG_4162.jpg

Revell kit and decals.

IMG_4161.jpg

Revell kit. I don't recall the source for these decals but I think were from the Academy kit?

IMG_4165.jpg

Revell kit and Techmod decals. Incidentally, all my Revell kits have had the Malcolm canopies replaced by vac form ones by Squadron(Falcon).

IMG_4166.jpg

Airfix P-51 B!!! Decals all from Modeldecal generic sets. The Malcolm hood is from the Monogram kit that was going spare. It depicts 129 Squdron that flew in companion with 306 and 315 s(Polish) squadrons from my local historic ALG of Coolham!

IMG_4167.jpg

And finally(for now) the Polish wing!

IMG_4332.jpg

Tamiya P-51D. Eagle Strike decals. I was fortunate to have had my copy of The Mighty Eighth in Colour with me at 'Legends, Duxford a few years ago and met the pilot of this subject. Frank Oiler also flew P-47D 'Eileen' by the way. The bottom photo shows myself getting my book signed by him and the photo from the book illustrating his signature.

IMG_4336.jpg

IMG_4337.jpg

IMG_4338.jpg

ICM kit of the P-51K issue.(Note the prop!) Decals from the kit and from the Tamiya one where they were better!

Another ICM kit but backdated to the earlier filletless D as flown by George Preddy. The decals are by Mike Grant.
