RainierHooker Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Quite the little pony! I just bought my first Arma kits (a hurri and a yak), looks like I need to add a few more to the stash...

I do like the Arma kits although I have not built a Yak yet,....... you`ll be impressed by this P-51, it deserves to sell well in the States,.... I can see me building a tiny 8th AF tribute as well as more Commonwealth aircraft too. Edited January 6, 2022 by tonyot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Another absolute stunner off your bench Tony, can only agree with everyone else that the finish looks spot on - and your comparison pic with the real thing shows just how right it looks! Marvellous Mustang! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djos Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I like metal finish you got, and very convincing moderate weathering. Very successful project. Nice to see this new mold finished Regards Djordje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Wow Tony!!!! This one really caught my eye. Along with Libor`s ( Redboost ) Arma Mustang, you guys have caused me to buy at LEAST FIVE ( 😉 ) of these outstanding kits. Beautiful results as usual my friend!!!

72modeler Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 You already read my thoughts on this build in your WIP, Tony, but damn! Looks just like the photos of the real one! Beautiful workmanship and paint, as the others have said...still waiting for my two pre-ordered ones to get here on this side of the pond. You are right- Arma has set the bar pretty darned high with this one; not an easy task, considering the hundreds of modelers who have waited so many years for this airplane! Can't imagine what their next project will be,, but can't wait to see it! Have a happy and even more prolific modeling year, my friend!

I know that some have reached the USA, so you shouldn`t have to wait too long now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Wonderful build Tony, looks just like the reference pic! Seeing this and your WIP makes me glad I almost have everything to set up the bench in my new place, and one of these kits on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
