Goatdriver Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Bonjour Patrice, I'd like to join the GB. I just got a Tamiya 1/32 P-51D that I plan to build in D-Day configuration. I'm not sure which particular aircraft yet. A question--what does the ST in STGB mean? Thanks. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert STGB stands for Single Type. As in only P-51 Mustangs vs say like the upcoming Trainers Group build in February. Any trainer aircraft type would fit that one, just not say a PT-17 Stearman only group build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 For those of us in mainland UK Lidl stores have the Airfix 72nd scale P-51 starter kit at £4.99 and Hobbycraft have a half price sale on Revell kits which, therefore, puts the 32nd scale kit at £18.50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiGFan79 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hi All. Would like to do a couple of 1/48 Mustangs for this build, a D and a B/C, Tamiya / ICM. Looking to do RAF liveries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I've got a number stacked up but will start with either a Latin or Far Eastern machine. The kits will be Tamiya F-51D 1/72 with extras. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall do this as "beutefugzeug" The swastika in the profile is wrong.Unless their were more P-51 D's with the small swastika. The frame of the windcreen seems to be unpainted ?

Col. Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I think the three Mustang in the photograph were repainted for a film where they played the 'bad guys' rather than being captured Luftwaffe examples 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Being a relatively newcomer to this forum - I'd thought I'd jump into the group builds for the coming year and challenge myself as a builder. Also maybe in the process I build things that I wouldn't not otherwise build! Now I see myself mostly as a 1/72 jet modeller - so what a nice way to start is a 1/48 WW2 prop plane. Now in all honesty I have built Accurate Miniatures Mustang before (or A-36 Apache to be more precise, gotta post it to the Ready for Inspection once I get proper photos of it) - so this is not completely new to me. But it has been 5-6 years since I built it, only finished the painting this year. So i don't remember much about the actual kit. I picked up the kit from my dad's stash - and it will find it's place on my dad's shelf once done. So long story short - count me in, this is what I'm gonna build: I have particular fondness of the 'birdcage' type canopies instead of the 'bubble' type canopy - this is even more true on the P-47, but also with the Mustang. The little I remember about the Accurate Miniatures kits is that they have very nice details - but can have some fit issues. My dad is building Accurate Miniatures Il-2 at the moment - and at some point of the process bought put it on a shelf and bought a Tamiya kit He really dislikes when parts don't fit as intended. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Good afternoon reini Welcome aboard , sorry I can't help you with the AM Mustang but I am sure that you will find help if you have questions with this build ..

SimonT Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Does anyone have any suggestions of what red and yellow to use for a 357th fighter group checker nose? Trying to get my entry ready 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 @SimonT You will for sure find a nose colour discussion in this lenghty thread (which is generally helpful for our GB). But honestly, I wouldn't care too much. The area is rather small and dirt plus paint deterioration would have changed the original colours anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I'd like to join, please. My entry will be either a 315 Squadron Mustang III (Hobby Boss) or an Airfix Mustang IV with Freightdog conversion, markings as yet unknown. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
