Vlad Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Wow! That looks amazing, I love the subtle shading, variations in paintwork and how all the different textures and details "pop" without it looking overdone. Cockpit deserves special mention, it looks so real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 One of the nicest painted models, especially the NMF, I've seen. A real piece of art. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polybebber Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 No doubt at all, this is one of the - if not THE - best P-51s I've ever seen in this scale. I'll take a bow!! Lothar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNosers352nd Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Dang! How do you make that nose piece work so well? It's one of the downfalls of this kit IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to shim it with some plasticard but it was a quick fix The underside needed a shim as well Edited June 23, 2020 by Brewer Adding photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose detail everytime I clean it up. Looks like you handled it very well there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The oxidised and dulled aluminum effect is superb and ultra realistic. Fabulous P-51. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark444 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 What @RichieW said...! Also the scuffing on the floor of the cockpit from the pilot’s boot heels is a nice touch, too. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
