Unbelievably over on that well-known auction site the Arma 72nd P-51 B/C is around £2.50 more expensive than the Tamiya 48th P-51 B Arma will be releasing cheaper boxings with only 2 decal options rather than 6 and without brass etched parts and paint masks,..... they are usually around £16 (judging by the Hurri`s and Wildcats),..... so its up to you mate,..... just wait for those. I`ll be buying a few more of these cheaper ones when they are released myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.au Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Well, that came out very nicely indeed, Tony. Well done 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 That looks magic Tony, to my mind, the P-51B/Cs are the best looking of the lot, even better with the fin fillet. This one pulls it all together so well. Superb. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 That looks fab Tony. I can only echo what Steve says above. Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bit sceptical about this sort of thing but I used to work in an old convert that was used by the cops as offices and on night shift, all alone in the building, with the upstairs checked and locked by me,..... I would hear footsteps all night, scraping of things moving,....... the hand dryers in the toilets next to my officer would go off on their own...... and you`d gt the feeling of somebody outside in the corridor watching you,..... a very, very creepy place indeed! I never looked back at the building after locking it. Oooooo spooky, I don't blame you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yowzah, Tony! She;s the bee's knees! Loved the grey 108 gallon tanks, as they were frequently painted in that color! Need to park it next to your silver doped Mossie for comparison! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thanks Mike,..... yeah I liked the look of the roughed up tanks so wanted to represent that as best I could. 11 hours ago, TheyJammedKenny! said: Tony: this is fantastic work!

Thanks Mate and glad you like the finish,...... it just looked too shiny so I chose to dull it down a little, especially as the wings were usually painted anywy, even in a silver scheme. 7 hours ago, heloman1 said: Really neat that mate, congratulations.

heloman1 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Tony, I like your approach to modelling with the research and the themes you build to. The confines under which you build, I admire your tenacity. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
