That’s the one, and some interesting detail to be had from it. The aircraft doesn’t have a ‘ buzz ‘ number for a start, the extra radio is fitted behind the headrest, and I think that the red mark just behind and above the exhaust is a fault on the film.

I hope the weather holds for your vacation, although it’s a little too hot for us pale Britishers.

Hello John,

I think that I nailed her !!

Look at the 3rd mustang in the line, shape of teeth are different

And there's a recuced Buzz number, the spinner is not the same indeed.

But I think that I can go that way for Chappie's bird.

I used that photo as reference for mine ( FF943, nearer camera ) and decide that it was painted metallic grey rather than NMF.  Quite a few were painted but they got so dirty and worn that it looked like oxidise Aluminium anyway.

There was also quite a lot of variation in the shark mouth patterns which is not surprising as they were probably hand painted individually without the use of stencils or templates.

It's a kind of relief for me, Obviously, I'll cheat a bit, but I have all I need at hand now.

Maybe will I alter the sharkmouth a bit after all.

I'm not good enough at hairystick to do it free hand...😩

Next RFI will be Sharky one !!

Almost done !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Some news from the stable !!

The Korean Mustang received some corrections...

Most of these P-51 and the first ones to be deployed came from the WW II stocks in Japan and Philippines.

So, I took the opportunity to say that this one is one of the VLR modified 'stang !

Since she carried and extra radio...

Antenna is modified...

IMG_20200918_215329

here's the radio and the brackets...

IMG_20200918_223511

Aaaaand both together now !!!

IMG_20200919_002526

While I was on this beast, I added the ignitor tubes on the Ex fuel tanks...

IMG_20200919_003808

Ex fuel tankgenerally mean future giant BBQ.....

Now Yeager's Mustang is nearing completion too

IMG_20200919_002940

And I did'nt resist comparisons...

Here's a Mustang against a Skyraider...

 

IMG_20200919_003920

More to come soon Gents !!

And take care

Sincerely.
