Wow! Superb rendition of the P-51 Tolga. I love the paint job, and all the extras you added. VERY nice Mustang.
Very attractively colorful but realistic at the same time. A real eye-candy. I like it a lot. /M.
Add my accolades as well...a really nice build. I have it 32nd scale and it isn't as nice as yours. Well done.
Tolga... Now that's how you build a Mustang! Just beautifully done.
Tolga .. as our Editor said .. REALISTIC .. now I have one question .. when were you at the factory to take these pictures after it came off the line ? It is really breath-taking to see such QUALITY "work" such as THIS .. keep up the good "work/fun/enjoyment" !
