Good day to you all. Eduard is really giving us some marvelous models to day, and their P-51 is no exception. The Iwo-Jima Very Long Range box is a sin as it is so much difficult to make a choice! It is not an easy kit, it requires very good eyes, and at 70 they are not what they used to be! I have puttied the wings like in reality and used all my knoweldge to overcome the nasty aluminium problems. My biggest concern were the decals! I use to do my markings with masks but this time I thought about an easier time with the decals! Oh My! Please Eduard , go back to your previous cartograf deal, the new one are sincerly not friendly! Well after a lot of struggle here is the mount of Maj Robert. W. Moore who started his tallies on P-40, when he was the Commander of the 45th FS, 15t FG at Iwo-jima south in August 45. Those pilots were flying long distances over the ocean, cope with bad weather, had to protect the B-29 and fly back to do it again. I can imagine the level of stress! best regards to you all.
