theplasticsurgeon Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Tower, this is Theplasticsurgeon, requesting a flyby. . . Rejoining the circuit with this Mustang kit, bought in 2020 for £8.99. To build like this, modified as a two-seater. Instructions, strangely blank, not saying anything about the Mustang's history or performance. Parts. Familiar - as this is my 5th build of this P-51D kit. And scheme, with superb decals. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Very nice. The aircraft used actually belongs to Tom Cruise. While he was married to Katie Holmes it bore the name "Kiss me Kate" on the starboard cowling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
