P-51B Mustang - Swiss Air Force

[Courageous]

Hi all, here is my recently completed of a P-51B Mustang of the Swiss Air Force using the AZ Model 1/72 kit. The model was built as part of the P-51 Mustang STGB and built in the wheels-up configuration. Built OOB with the scheme being all painted using Tamiya and Mr Hobby paints, the only decals being used were four wing decals.

Disitnctive markings and colorful to boot. I like it!

Very eye-catching color scheme and beautifully done!  👍👍

I have developed quite a preference for the P51B and C variants, over the ubiquitous P51D.

Well done!  🙂

Excellent tidy work Stuart. Sorry that I hadn't followed the build. Only thing I'm wondering is, you've posed it flying but I can't see the pilot? 😉

Because it's a drone . If I had a suitable pilot, it would've got one but I don't, so I didn't .

I was about to say it's a drone. Just about to Google it now! 😆 

Apart from that, very nice!

Very nice Mustang in a quite colorful livery.  I like the way it is displayed too.  Thanks for sharing.

Lovely Mustang and excellent work on all those 'Anti-Invasion' stripes. Liking the clouds too!

Nice to see one in Swiss colours. Great job! 😎👍

That is gorgeous, Stuart. I like it a lot

@georgeusa @R T Fishall @Andy H @RidgeRunner Cheers guys. The 'clouds' is teddy bear stuffing. As for the stripes, not sure that you can call them 'anti-invasion stripes'...
