This is "Daddy's Girl," the P-51D of Ray Wetmore, based at RAF East Wretham in late 1944. I used the Zoukei-Mura 1/32 kit, modified slightly for the partial cutaway effect, and Fundekals markings.

Again I am humbled by the quality of work to be seen in this group build. I'm glad to have been able to participate. Thanks to the organizers.

My Airfix and Tamiya 1/72 Mustangs. Kit details for both kits are in the build thread. 

 

Build thread is here. Had lots of fun with these kits. I can say that both are outstanding kits. I cannot pick a winner here. But I must say that for the price Airfix's kit does do a better job. The Tamiya kit has more detail but not enough to justify an almost 2X price. Check the build thread out were both are built. 

 

I chose to gloss coat the Tamiya kit and weather it slighltly and chose not to seal the decals and not weather the Airfix kit.

QP-O, 'Red Dog XII' ,473108

and

HO-M, 'Petie 2nd', 414151

 

These were out of box builds with some scratch built interior details for Petie 2nd, I also split the kit canopy into its sections for use on this aircraft. I used Mr Metal Color Aluminium to paint Petie 2nd and this was buffed with cotton buds whilst Red Dog XII was painted with Aluminium from Vallejo's Acrylic Metal Color paints. Decals are from  those supplied with the kit.

My Tamiya 1/48 P-51B with Superscale decals. Aircraft is Shoot You're Faded from the 20th FG, 8th Air Force.  I also used a Malcolm hood canopy from an ICM kit I've got in the stash. Enjoyed the build and glad I could finally finish something for a GB. Thanks for looking.
