1/48 Airfix P-51D
I finished my 1/48 Airfix P-51D. I did not have a D in my collection. It has been years since I built a 1/48 kit. Painted with Various shades of Alclad (fuselage:Duraluminum, Stainless Steel and White Aluminum and wings in Aluminum.) I used Gunze Mr Color for a custom mixed blue to represent the darker blue used by the 352nd in the later days of the war. It is OOB except for the markings which are from a Eagle Strike sheet depicting a Aircraft flown by Lt. Karl Waldron from Minnesota of the 487th FS at Bodney. Lt. Col Karl Waldron was later KIA in Vietnam on Feb 14, 1968 while piloting a AC-47D "Spooky" gunship of the 14th Air Commando Squadron flying out of Phan Rang Airbase. Now back to 1/72!

A beautiful job on your Airfix kit. Especially on the Alclad finish.

A fantastic build, Geoffrey.
Will take this one as an example for my current Airfix P51 build.

Great job, Geoffrey. Not easy to make an Airfix kit look this good. Perfectly done seams under that Allclad!
