This is the Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang, marked as John C. Meyer's "Petie 2nd".

Typical of Tamiya, easy assembly and a nice fit. The only weak points are the wheel well not going back to the spar, and a prop that is too wide and tapered at the cuff (easy to correct).

I used an Ultracast seat, and the sliding canopy is a spare from an Airfix kit (suitably reshaped).
Wheel well was opened to the aft spar, brake lines added, and the radio, battery and drop tanks wired, and plumbed.

Decals are the kits (works well with VERY hot water), and the paints are all Tamiya acrylic.

 

Thanks for looking,

Colin
