Airfix 1/72 North American P-51 Mustang (02083)


Recommended Posts

My quick build of the Airfix 1/72 North American P-51B Mustang (02083) which was knocked out for an ATF Bomber Command GB in less than two weeks. It represents an RAF Mustang III flown by Wing Commander Leonard Cheshire's Mustang HB837 attached to 617 Squadron. I wasn't hundred percent sure of the extent of the yellow on the leading edges nor the colour of the spinner (sky or white have both been suggested). The more I researched them, the more confused I got and in the end I "winged it".

 

Decals came from the spares box and the XtraDecal 617 Squadron set (X72093). The "Malcolm Hood" transparencies are from Falcon and are a bit oversize (they were supposed to be for a Hasegawa kit) but the result is still okay.
