RCAF P-51 ....and another!


Recommended Posts

I think I should be able to complete this one in the time left for this Mustang extravaganza!! I started work on this Sunday 19th Feb. about 3.30ish p.m.

Another Tamiya kit but the prop is being replace for a postwar one from a Pavla set seen here assembled.

And by 6.p.m. got to this.

Tailplanes have since been added and joins cleaned up. Just needs priming tonight and probably will get its top coat too. And you all may have guessed its going to be another RCAF model but probably from the second of the two recently issued sets by Leading Edge.

A replacement late style HS prop that won't be used. Will explain later.

Above, just some general views of progress and some of those lovely Leading Edge Models decals applied. The last picture shows the standard P-51 cuffed HS prop. It seems that some still used these and had the front upper section polished metal finish and black rears and cuffs. Makes it quite different and interesting.
