Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hello Everyone... Id like to present my 1st build from the P-51 Mustang group build, and my 2nd build of the year. Its an F-6C That flew with the 118th TRS/23 FG China 1944. The kit is the old Monogram P-51B/C in 1/48th scale. I rescued this from a vendor table for $4.00 last November and it is pretty much an oob build. The only real modification’s were the drilling of holes in the lower fuselage, and lower port fuselage to accomodate the camera’s, and brass tubing for the .50 cal. barrels. The camera’s are just two pieces of sprue hollowed out. The markings other than the “597” and Stars & Bars are all masked and painted. There are two members that helped me with parts along the way so Thank you Gentleman. Questions, comments, and or thoughts ? I have added a link to the build in case anyone would like to take a look ? Dennis 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Don't see enough CBI builds In my opinion, or PR birds. I like the partially bled-down main gear doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the partially bled-down main gear doors. Thanks I agree about the CBI builds. I always try to pose my mustangs with Main gear doors in odd positions, seems more realistic that way.
