Just an old 1/72 Matchbox P-51D
Simply put, I had the model and the decals laying around, and was looking for fast time killer. The result matched the time spent.

Nice job on those checkered decals, Joe…I’m guessin’ they weren’t easy.

Thanks, Craig. It was an OLD decal sheet. The hard part was figuring out what went where. It turned out ok, that is to say, I’ve done worse. Quick and fun !

It can be old, as per your words, I consider it a classic. You Joe have done a very nice job on this build even as one considers the scale.
