Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hello Everybody well here is my take on the Airfix P-51 Mustang. I built “Run, Rabbit, Run !” a P-51D Mustang from the 20th Fighter Group, 8th A.F. Fighter command, circa September 1st 1944. This is part of a bigger project of mine to build a diorama of the weekly planning meeting of 8th A.F. Fighter command and this is the 3rd build i have completed of 15 aircraft. Without further talk I present to you “Run, Rabbit, Run!” If you have Questions, comments, or jokes ? Please feel free to comment in my build thread. Thank you to our hosts for the build.

MarkSH Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This is my effort with the Airfix 1/72 Mustang IV Starter Set kit. Built to represent P-51D Bu No. 44-72199 in the colours of Captain Charles E "Chuck" Weaver's G4-A 'Passion Wagon' 362nd Fighter Squadron of the 357th Fighter Group. I used the Kits-World War Birds decal sheet. Very enjoyable build with some very tight tolerances on a well engineered kit, a pleasure to build. Again many thanks to both hosts and sponsors, great group build. Cheers, Mark. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncletommy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) My attempt at Bob Hoover's Ole Yeller in the Evergreen livery. WIP is here: Gentlemen, you have a race! Please forgive the whacked out landing gear geometry. Was going to try to fix that but ran out of time. It is what it is. In any case, many thanks to everyone for a great group build. I learned a lot and had fun. Let's do it again! Edited September 23, 2018 by uncletommy 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 North American Mustang IV RAF 112 Squadron, Italy, 1945 This was an OOB build. The camouflage is brush painted using Humbrol Acrylics, and finished with the kit decal scheme for 112 Sqdn. It was a nice kit to build, although some of the parts were not as crisp as the original release. The flash on the aerial mast was so bad that I had trouble distinguishing the part so I use some scrap sheet to scratch a replacement. Anyway, here is the finished model. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Mustang IV RAAF, painted with Halfords aluminium rattle can and xtracrylix olive drab and azure blue (with humbrol red in the spinner ), bombs from the spares box (think they were leftovers from the Revell p-47 I built in the current STGb), also has a freightdog aeroproducts prop. No idea who made the decals though I think I got them from @Rabbit Leader. Finished with a coat of Winsor and Newton Matt varnish 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
