Mikkel Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Hello all! Here is my build for the GB, a Tamiya P-51D in service with the Guatemalan Air Force (FAG) I'll do the FAG 354 it will be armed with mk.82 and maybe some rockets this one is not 354, but it shows how the camo looks like mine will have old type prop Cheers Mikkel
SaintsPhil Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Great choice! I read Phoenix Squadron last year and always fancied building a FAG Mustang
Bertie McBoatface Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Good idea. It's getting harder and harder to find an new and interesting Mustang scheme.
Mikkel Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks SaintsPhill! what is Phoenix Squadron, about?? on the front cover there is a weird looking british airplane... I hope to see your Mustang soon too Thanks Don! yes it hard to find new Mustangs schemes, but if you know where to look, they just keep coming there can be a money problem when you build Mustangs, they are alle AWESOME Here is the decals and weapons, I'll try to make a pair of them huge tanks, now I only need a Pilot Regards Mikkel
SaintsPhil Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Well worth a read! It's about the Royal Navy launching Buccaneers (yes odd looking but effective) from a carrier a few thousand miles to dissuade the Guatemalans from reclaiming Belize! There's a nice section about one of the FAG pilots taking off in his mustang only for the engine to explode forcing him to bail out. The way it's written in the book makes it sound like just another day at the office! Phil

I'll add it to my Amazon wishlist. Buccaneer vs Mustang, a curious dogfight double.
Mikkel Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 WOW I work slow on this one Well the engine is done, the cockpit is almost done Cheers, Mikkel
