Pedro1 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Dear all, My Mustang trilogy continues with the Academy P-51C Apache II, as flown by 1Lt. Henry Perry from the famous 332nd Fighter Group, as it looked when it was based at Ramittell, Italy during 1944. I build it as a tribute to the famous Tuskegee Airmen. I think the Academy kit is a delight to build and the Eduard Zoom set nicely finishes the cockpit off, especially since Academy allows for an open cockpit without having to resort to major surgery. I did cut out the flaps and lowered them, as you never see a Mustang with flaps up when it stands still. The decals are from an LPS Hobby sheet , as I wanted something different from what's in the Academy box. I did use the Academy wing striping though, with lots of softener. Enjoy!

kapam Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Gotta love the red-tailed Tuskegee P-51's! I've always preferred the C-version with the standard canopy too. Your build looks excellent - thanks for showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
