Sky Keg Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Friends, This is the Airfix P-51D Mustang. I am certain that everybody is well aware of the superb nature of this kit ( and at a very reasonable price too ) so I won`t go into detail regarding that aspect. I found these aftermarket decals ( Super Scale sheet #72-907 / 362, 363 FS - 357 FG ) at the 2017 Columbus ( Ohio, USA ) model show. What interested me with these markings is the rare sight of a Delta ( D ) variant of the famed Mustang in green & gray camouflage colors. Even of more interest was the the 362nd Fighter Squadron used colors from local British supplies. The upper surface is RAF dark green over RAF medium sea gray under surface. Getting the red & yellow bands on the spinner aligned properly proved to be troublesome. Despite all of that, I hope everyone enjoys this unique scheme on a European Theater Mustang. And yes, I highly recommend the kit!!!!!! Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!! Respectfully submitted, Mike PS: Again, my apologies for the picture quality. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Another cracking model SK, totally agree with you about the airfix kit, the 1/48 version is just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Very nice. The colours look good. I may be wrong here, but shouldn't the 'B6' squadron code be forward of the stars and bars on both sides of the fuselage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully somebody with a much better understanding than I will be able to provide some clarity. Thank you for the very nice comments too!!!!!

Hairtrigger Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Splendid job... Doing the same kit myself, it must be one of Airfix's best in 1:72. My only complaint is the arial on mine is a big blob of plastic ... I hope mine turns out as good as yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Nicely done, Mike! I really like the weathering on it. I recently obtained the kit and am really tempted to push others aside and get a crack at it. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
