Time for an update, I have been working on the cockpit this is what I have got done so far.

Great work Lloyd, that weathering is spot on

Nice work there Peter

This is what I have been working on since last Thursday This only a representation of what is in the wheel bays and is done just to make it look more interesting All of the wiring has been done with various sizes of lead wire The color of the wheel bay is Chromate Yellow Primer FS33481, thou it does look a bit greenish in the photos This was laid over a primer coat of Mr Surface thinned with lacquer thinner and pre-shaded with Matt Black I still need to weather the bays, but will start this once everything is dry and I have laid down a coat of Future to seal everything

great work Lloyd

I will be building the Tamiya 1/32 P-51D as Nooky Booky II, flown by Capt Leonard "Kit" Carson Leonard Carson ended the war as the highest scoring Ace in the 357th Fighter Group, with 18.5 kills, 5 of which he claimed in one day, only the second 357th pilot to do this and the last. This was first of Leonard Carson's two P-51D models, his fourth and final P-51 was a K model named Nook Booky IV, the original Nooky Booky, was a P-51B, this aircraft was lost in May of 1944 when being flown by Lt Roger Hilstead's The P-51D G4-C, 44-13316 was delivered to the 8th Air Force on the 4th June 1944, and is believed to have been delivered to the 357th on the 7th June 1944 complete with full invasion marking's. The aircraft was given the name Mildred, in an interview after the war neither Carson or his Crew Chief could remember where the name came from, but within a few days the name was change to Nooky Booky II I will build this model to show Nooky Booky II after the 29th of July 1944 as this is the day Capt Carson claimed his 5 kill to become an Ace. As there are no decals available for this aircraft, I am having a set of paint masks made by, Miracle Masks for this aircraft.

Count me in with the Hobby Boss 1/32 F-84E This will be build OOB including the kit decals for "Sandy" from the 9th FBS, 49th FBW, flown by Captain Warren O'Brien, Korea 1951
