Calum Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) This is my third Eduard P-51D. You can see the first here and second here. The third was to be another bare metal aircraft as bare metal is not something I feel I'm particularly good at. I chose this one from from Eduard's Chattanooga Choo Choo Boxing after seeing Spencer Pollards build online. I do like the Eduard P-51, but it's a fiddly kit to build and rewards patience. There is article on my blog for this build and it contains a list of the issues I've found building these kits.

Darwinism Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Great work on what I agree can be a fiddly but rewarding kit - you’ve achieved a magnificent result. Nearly couldn’t hit the like button though as Marie’s my mother in law’s name…. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I have no idea why you would think you are not very good at a natural metal finish! That's brilliant. I particularly like the dirty wings, just the right impression of ground crew working on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
