Mig88 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here is my Platz 1:144 North American P-51D-20-NA Mustang which I built back in 2007. It represents 44-72218/WZ-I "Big Beautiful Doll", flown by Lt. Col. John D. Landers (78th FG CO), 48th FS, 78th FG, 8th Air Force, USAAF, from November 1944 to May 1945. The kit was built OOB and fully painted and varnished with brush. As I have mentioned before, these Platz kits are a real delight with great finesse for this scale. Eduard has released these same moulds under their label. Highly recommended. Thanks for looking and, as always, all comments are welcome Miguel 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) At first glance I thought it is in a somewhat larger scale! A very nice little mustang. I wasn´t aware that there are such good model kits available for single engine WW2 fighters in 1/144 scale.

jean Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hi, I have the same paint scheme to do on a 1/72 Mustang, and I am not too sure how to proceed... In 1/144 it is plain unreal to obtain this finish with those wretched checkers! Congrats!!! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Wow Miguel. Your 1/144 scale “Air Force” continues to grow. Very nice Mustang to add to the rest. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_Ukraine Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Small beautiful 'Big Beautiful Doll' I could hardly believe she is only 1/144th! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think that 1:144 was good only for more modern types and for some larger WW2 types until I discovered these Mustangs the Fw 190 from Platz too, and Sweet's Bf 109Fs!
