1/72 Revell P-51B Mustang

[Creepy Pete]

Hello,

 

Here's my 1/72 Revell 1/72 P-51B. This one was started as a simple build when I was away from home for a week early this year. It then moved to the shelf of doom for a while, but got resurrected a few weeks ago. The kit is not the most accurate one and the clear parts are pretty bad, I even used a mask set on them which I normally never use. But overal a fun build, with nice surface detail.

 

I used the kit decals, minus the famous yellow tail markings, which didn't seem to be present on this particular plane. Other Mustangs (26th FS) in the unit did have them. Painted with Mr. Hobby acrylics and some Revell Aqua on the spinner.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Very nice, it’s a decent kit and you have made a super model from it, good job!

Super build of a very good kit.

Well done.

Very nicely done!

I do love the "razorback" Mustangs (i.e., B & C models), perhaps a little more than the bubble tops.

👍👍

Nice one Pete, the Revell kit was the first I made getting back to the hobby & I did enjoy it. Your effort is much better than mine though, you've done a good job on making it look suitably skanky as the real one did. 👍
