"Lullaby for a Dream" - Eduard 1/48
2996 Victor replied to djktrumpet's topic in P-51 Mustang STGB 5
It's a fab kit, you'll enjoy it! It's typical Eduard, maybe a tad over-engineered but well-fitting and not difficult. Good choice to stick to your original subject! Cheers, Mark -

I meant to say I still look back at your YP-37 build in awe - it's my all-time favourite plane. Just wish there was a good 1/48 one available. -

Consider it done! Welcome aboard the Good Ship/Plane/Vehicle* Heller! Cheers, Mark *delete as appropriate -
Exacting paintwork there, absolutely superb!

Superb work, John, the cockpit looks splendid, as does Johannes. This build is setting the bar high! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the wheel bays. Cheers, Mark Its not just you!

And now for something a little different 😉

This looks ever more interesting, Pat: good luck with this short-run (more like a trip and a stumble) kit!!! I had a Beechnut Wings Curtiss YP-37 (my absolute fave aeroplane) and that was so awful I just binned it Cheers, Mark -
Agreed! Great work on the cockpit, John, and Johannes is looking every inch (millimetre!) the fighter pilot! Excellent. Cheers, Mark

And here, too Great stuff!

Some great progress here - this is going to look fantastic! Cheers, Mark

Absolutely! Always for the greater good!

Hi All, welcome to my second build in this STGB. This will be P-51B-5-NA 43-6643 "Spare Parts" of the 310th Ferry Squadron, 27th Air Transport Group. The kit will be ICM's 1/48 P-51B Tamiya clone with added Aires cockpit and wheel well sets, finished with KitsWorld's decal set. Here's the real thing, courtesy of the American Air Museum in Britain: "Spare Parts" 43-6623 Note that they caption it as a P-51B-15-NA, whereas Joe Baugher's USAF Fighters states it's a P-51B-5-NA, which is what I'm going with! And here is the story behind "Spare Parts". Incidentally, RAF Speke is now Liverpool John Lennon Airport. More when the kit and bits arrive! Thanks for looking in, Mark
