So you thought that Tamiya's new 1/32 P-51 was good


Holdfast

Well of course it is, it's very good but this is something else. A 1/5 scale P-51 Mustang built by David Glen, go to his web site Spitfire in my Workshop for more about the P-51 and his 1/5scale Spitfire Mk I.

I'm posting these pictures (sent to me by David for this purpose) as I had the privilege of supplying paint masks for the markings (the nose art and other stuff is yet to be done). Because of the need to apply an etch primer coat under the masks David had to deviate from the normal method that I recommend for applying USAF Star and Bar insignia, but the results speak for themselves :thumbsup:

Had the pleasure of viewing this yesterday. Was the highlight of my trip to the museum at Cosford. I wasn't expecting to see something so amazingly beautiful and SO so detailed. It is like some one has taken a pristine factory fresh Mootang and shrunk it.
It was that amazing i had to email, and tell him. Incredible :gobsmacked:
