The major George Preddy “Cripes A Mighty 3rd” P-51 D-5- NA paint and assembly
Hi,
I present you my last built... the kit is amazing but i had some trouble with my paint. I would do the Major Preddy plane between august and september 1944. The plane bears the scars of his fights and aluminum coating lost its luster ...
I had to make the figure of Major but this is represented with a G-suit and it must match the following period during his last European tour.
Still I hope it will suit you well.
Cheers, Eric from France
Is this the Tamiya 32nd scale offering...? The finish, detail and weathering are outstanding.
Hi craig and thank you very much. Yes it is the Tamiya kit with the Barracuda interior and tires. The decals are from Eaglecals.
Best regards, Eric

Eric,
Absolutely beautiful. Like the Corsair, I have never seen a P-51 that I did not like. Yours is excellent. You have done a outstanding job and have complimented this airplane.
Hi Frank, thank you so much.
