mike romeo Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Folks, Built for a GB on uamf, here are 2 attempts at the Airfix 1/72nd scale new tool P-51D. The first is "Anita", CV-W, a MkIVa from 3Sqn RAAF in 1945. Decals from Xtradecals (apart from wing roundels which were Almarks), and using the resin undernose insert from Freightdog (I didn't bother using the Freightdog Aeroproducts prop, just reshaped the kit part with sidecutters and sanding stick): The second is "LouIV / Athelene", E-2C, an early model P-51D without the fin fillet, from the 361st FG, 8th AF, USAAF in 1944. Decals from AeroMaster, otherwise oobL regards, Martin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Martin, Of course I am always biased where Mustangs are concerned AND these two are simply MOST IMPRESSIVE, GORGEOUS looking warbirds .. I think you did a FANTASTIC job.. Very well finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Anita does it for me! Edited June 1, 2013 by wellsprop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Superb! Love the Bottisham bird & the work done in removing the spine, oh and the fettling on the props for the MkIVa. I used the Pavla Aeroprop which was very fiddly. Such an excellent kit as I'm doing a couple at the moment, on similar themes, but different bases. 112 Sqn and a Wattisham based Mustang (Pin-up Girl). I think this kit deserves it's own sub-forum on Britmodeller! Martin Edited June 1, 2013 by Lightningboy2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
