A very beat-up and grubby Mustang!


Recommended Posts

Just for fun, I thought I'd do something really beat-up, so, I'm taking a stab at 'Tex" Hills P-51b in China, 1945.

It's ICM's P-51b, with some scratch building in the cockpit, a homemade vac canopy, and some parts from the spares box.

I might tone down the chipping on the nose, I just haven't decided yet, On the real aircraft, the paint appears to have been coming off in sheets!

Great looking model!

I may be wrong, but it may be rockets OR bombs.

I think it may have dictated by mission requirements; range vs required ordinance.  Doesn't seem to be unheard of, though.
